Structured Interviewing

• It is a well know fact that it is not the best candidate that secures the role, but the one with the best self promotional skills.
• Interviewers must understand the common biases that are involved in interviewing and use ways to accurately assess the difference between candidates.
• Structured interviewing allows the comparison of ‘apples with apples’.
• A necessary aspect is to have undertaken planning and preparation before the actual interview.  This moves the focus on the typical unstructured interview away from decisions made by ‘gut feel’.
