Yes, I did mention that they should remove the telephone interviews ideally. I should have added the fact that skype would solve the issue as well. But to this day, I don't understand why companies do a telephone interview. Its certainly not cheaper than a skype interview. Maybe you could argue against a video call by saying that the person might grow a beard/shave their beard, put on weight/ lose weight, change their appearance drastically by the time they come to the first day on the job. Or the interviewee might be at their current job when they are interviewing for the next, so that might throw some people off the process. Thirdly I think some research somewhere might have said that a skype interview is more daunting, and hence less people will apply for the job/qualify to the next round as a result of the stress it causes and the telephone interview is just less stressful on the candidate. All possible, all equally rubbish reasons imho.
