  5. Structured Interviews • Structured Interview • Uses a set of standardized questions asked of all job applicants. • Useful for initial screening and comparisons • Benefits • Obtains consistent information needed for selection decision • Is more reliable and valid than other interview formats • Meets EEO guidelines for the selection process

  6. Structured Interviews (cont’d) • Biographical Interview • Focuses on a chronological exploration of the candidate’s past experiences. • Behavioral Interview • Applicants are asked to give specific examples of how they have performed a certain task or handled a problem in the past. • Helps discover applicant’s suitability for current jobs based on past behaviors. • Assumes that applicants have had experience related to the problem.

  7. Structured Interviews (cont’d) • Competency Interview • Similar to the behavioral interview except that the questions are designed specifically to provide the interviewer with something to measure the applicant’s response against—that is, the “competency profile” for the position, which includes a list of competencies necessary to do that particular job. • Situational Interview • Applicants are asked how they would respond to a specific job situation related to the content of the job they are seeking.

  8. Less Structured Interviews • Nondirective Interview • Applicants are queried using questions that are developed from the answers to previous questions. • Possibility of not obtaining needed information. • Information obtained may not be not job-related or comparable to that obtained from other applicants. • Stress Interviews • An interview designed to create anxiety and put pressure on an applicant to see how the person responds.
