In my personal experience, I’ve had interviews with many different companies in different industries. There are many similarities in these interviews as well as many differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First let us look at what makes an interview effective. In my opinion I have found one on one interviews more beneficial then group interviews. In this setting the candidate can talk on their own time without pressure from other candidates. They will be more keen to ask questions about the role in this setting. Most importantly the direction of the conversation can be fluid. I think where the conversation goes outside of the interview questions is a better gauge of a candidates character. As an interviewer I would want to see how a candidates conducts themself in regular conversation, as that is how they will act in the work place. (Prevue HR)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now let us look at some ineffective interview tactics. Well group interviews have the benefit of giving all candidates the same information at the same time. It is also based more on first impression based, which is good for getting a good gauge of a persons character. Group interviews also can cause someone to charge their true answer to a question based on social pressure form another candidates answer. This also harms the person who has to go first as they don’t get the same context. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think interviews overall could be improved across industries in two different ways. One, there should be a heavier focus on conversation that allows the interviewer to get a better gauge on character. For example, allowing the candidate to take the conversation further then just cutting them off after they answer the question. This allows for conversation that the candidate didn’t prepare for and allows for a better judgement of their character. Two, increasing the candidates knowledge about the role before the interview. It’s the worst feeling to be in an interview and realize you are not qualified for the role. Interviewers can make sure their job descriptions on the listing are highly in-depth, they can also restate the role and it’s requirements before the interview to not waste anyone’s time. This could decrease a lot of unnecessary interviews or vetting through unqualified candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
