So I had a phone interview scheduled for today with a boutique IB firm with one of the MDs, (I already quadruple-checked the date, time, and number I gave them to call me at), and I just never received a call.
I figure this could be because the MD forgot or was too busy. Should I send an email or something? What should I say?

Happens to everyone. I once had a 45 minute phone interview, because the MD would get interrupted every 2 minutes and chew someone out. He ended up channeling all that anger towards me... needless to say I didn't get the offer.
I would wait a day or two, and just ask if there's a better time for his schedule to talk. Most likely he'll email you tomorrow to apologize though.
Call the company & let them know you had a phone interview scheduled but never received a call.
A phone interview that never happened.. (Originally Posted: 07/01/2015)
Hey guys,
I was suppose to have a phone interview with human resource . I called on the day of the phone interview, but no one answered so I left a message.
It has been 2 days and I still haven't gotten a call/email.
Did I get dinged?
What should I do?
I left a voice mail yesterday too.
HR is so dumb.
Try emailing on top of that, and email multiple people (including non-HR if you know them).
I feel like I got dinged cause I left a voicemail and I got a pretty bad accent. Also, on top of my accent, when I speak I tend to pause at random ass places so I sound unintelligent as fckk.
Do you know anybody that got dinged cause hr heard their voice? -_- not funny..
wait a week and send another email and then* give up
Blackstone 1st round Telephone Interview - they never called! (Originally Posted: 02/01/2008)
What do you guys think - I had organised a telephone interview with Blackstones and they did not call! I waited 3 hours for them to call but no word........what should I do? I understand the guys must be extremely busy - but I found this strange.
Learn English first
Explain?
haha i had several groups do this to me.
Contact the HR or whoever arranged this phone interview for you and explained them a situation.
Several Groups? serious - what was the outcome fafa?
I assume aspringmonkey was just giving you shit for pluralizing Blackstone or for spelling "organised" in British fashion.
In any case, "what you should do" is pretty straightforward here. Follow up with the interviewer (might as well call / email today) and try to reschedule the call. I'm sure the interviewer feels bad about skipping out without providing any head's up, so you shouldn't have a problem getting a new time.
followed up if i cared enough. otherwise never heard from them again.
