Description
Learn more about the approach for group interviews to select the best candidate without having a singleminded bias of an individual interview.
Interviews are notorious for being a poor approach to use in employee selection. Research has shown that interviewers jump to conclusions quickly about job applicants and are sometimes unduly swayed by haircuts, the firmness of handshakes, and the physical appearance of applicants. Interviews are also prone to problems such as the likeme bias, in which people are prone to be positively inclined toward applicants who are clones of the interviewers. This material shows how group interviews can overcome the singleminded bias of individual interviews. The information shows how group interviews can be part of a robust approach to picking the best candidate by relying on diverse opinions across a group.
