The initial phone interviews (have you been convicted of a crime, etc.) are more screening and not an interview.I would suggest it be worded as an applicant screening process and not an interview.
The first actual interview (conducted by phone) was more of the manager describing the job duties, where they saw the position going in the department, and what precipitated the need for the position. Again, very few questions to unearth information as to whether I would be a good hire.
The face-to-face interview was part team and one on one. The team did not seem prepared to conduct an interview, had very few prepared questions, and essentially asked me to "tell us about yourself". The 1 to 1 interview was more detailed and specific, yet did not drill down to what I considered critical elements in order to make a decision. Often, I felt as if I was trying to provide information to questions that were not going to be asked and that would impact the job as described.
Everyone I interviewed with made reference to "this is what YOU will do", "We want to make sure YOU like the area", "we want YOU to come back and present", "what areas are YOU considering to live in", etc. While these are statements are very misleading, they are not a job offer. I would suggest re-thinking the wording to be more general - "the Candidate", "the Person we select", etc.
