You have been asked to schedule interviews for shortlisted applicants. The interview panel suggests that interviews should take 10 minutes and be conducted every 10 minutes to expedite the interview process due to the panel’s busy work schedule. (Guide: select the most appropriate answer)
Would you:
state that is a great idea which will help expedite the interview process allowing the panel to return to work earlier.
explain to the panel that the process must take longer to allow each applicant time to talk about themselves and by expediting the process, the panel may select the wrong applicant.
tell the panel that you can do the interview on your own if they need to return to their work and that you would brief them later on who you selected and gain their agreement.
phone the applicants and tell them that the panel is busy and they will be advised of a new date to conduct the interviews.
