Commercial Applications
Answer
Interviews are an essential part of the selection procedure due to the following reasons:
Verification of Information — Interview serves as a means of checking the information obtained through application form and tests. It helps verify the genuineness of the candidate's claims.
Two-Way Communication — Interview provides an opportunity to the candidate to get information about the job and the company, while also allowing the employer to assess the candidate.
Personality Assessment — Through face-to-face contact, managers can judge the personality, communication skills, facial expressions, postures, gestures and overall suitability of the candidate, which cannot be assessed through written tests alone.
Direct Evaluation — It provides the most direct method of evaluating a candidate's confidence, attitude, and behavioural traits relevant to the job.
