As we all know, no one can get a job without crossing the most important hurdle – The job interview. Job Interviews have always been the most widely accepted method for selecting candidate for a specific job role.
Be it through pre-screening phone interview, regular phone interview, one-on-one face to face interview, or a panel interview, the job interview has always played a key factor in the hiring process.
Why is it so popular?
What makes an interview the most popular, trusted recruitment tool, is its simplicity. The employers interact with the prospective employee in order to learn/observe his/her qualities. Although many interviewers are not ‘professional interviewers’, still they conduct an interview to select applicants to a specific job.
Needless to say, it is arguably one way that enables an employer to dig deep into an applicant’s psyche, match his observations with the job requirement, compare it with the pre-employment screening tests observations to finally make a sound decision.
How does the job interview conducted?
The job interview is actually a dialogue carried out between the interviewer and the interviewee wherein the interviewer is the leader of the conversation, asking set of questions in order to test/evaluate the interviewee compatibility.
Let us understand the interview process with the example of an interview dialogue.
