Why do jobs conduct multiple interviews?

Phone screening; video interview; in person interview, why not do everything at once?? 🙄🙄

We conduct phone or Zoom interviews with several applicants.

Then we meet and discuss them, and we narrow down the list to those we wish to invite for an on site visit

@nerdynerd I get that but what’s the point of a video and in person interview?

@SW-User Please read my response to apersonnamedit.

An inperson interview lasts one or two days, as the candidate meets with members of the department,with administrators, students, and gives a presentation of their work.

Years ago, we used to select candidates to invite for site visits without doing a preliminary video interview.( For one thing, the technology wasn't there yet.) It was very costly, time intensive, and inefficient.
