Support and call center

# The interview is the assessment

You’re hiring someone to be good on the phone. A voice call is the only screen that shows you that.

The reality01

## What the queue looks like

Support postings fill from people who are already working. They apply between calls, from a phone, to five employers the same afternoon.

-   ### They apply mid-shift
    
    The strong ones are at work when they apply. A 2pm callback reaches their voicemail.
    
-   ### A spoken screen
    
    Nothing on a résumé tells you how somebody sounds while a customer is shouting.
    
-   ### First callback wins
    
    By Thursday the best applicant has taken whichever offer reached them first.
    

Candidates answer when they can talk: a break, the bus home, 22:00 on a Sunday.
