Learn more on the approach for group interviews to select the best candidate without having a single-minded 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 physical appearance of applicants. Interviews are also prone to problems such as the like me bias in which people are prone to be positively inclined to applicants who are clones of the interviewers. This material shows how group interviews can overcome the single-minded 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.
