Many times they have multiple candidates that they like, so they're reinterviewing to narrow down the list.
They'll always have multiple candidates, otherwise they're doing something terribly wrong.

Also, many companies do a first phone interview with the manager, then of you pass that they do a face to face. Nothing wrong with that.
That's a policy-choice; I don't do phone-interviews. In that case, I'd simply have to pass.

Also, many times you start with the totally useless interview with the equally useless recruiter - then on to the company itself. You really have to play along, especially if you want the gig.
Recruiters are expensive, and usually not worth the premium for the level of service provided. Mail the company directly, include a resume for pre-filtering and wait for the invitation.

No, wouldn't want to do seventeen useless phone-interviews on a day while working, just because some recruiter wants to look busy and interested. You have the details, come with an offer or don't.
