Interviews form the basic selection criteria for most longer companies. However, some people think that an interview is not a reliable method of choosing whom to employ and there are other better methods. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In recent days, most of the larger companies and corporations consider

interviews

are the best suitable method for hiring employees.

Although

interviews

are good, l opine that alternative methods can

also

be effective in the

selection

process. Admittedly, most companies opt for

interviews

as

selection

criteria while deciding candidates for new positions.

This

is because through

interviews

an employer can easily identify the job seekers distinct talents

such

as communication, academic and social skills which are imperative while employing inside an organisation.

For instance

, if a candidate is socially introverted, that will affect his/ her performance in the interview. That's why it is chosen as one of the quality methods.

On the other hand

, there are alternative methods to think.

Firstly

, nowadays several organisations think of written

tests

which stand one position higher than

interviews

.

In other words

, written

tests

accurately help in assessing candidates academic brilliance than any other form of assessment. Usually, written

tests

are conducting in an environment where there is a limited chance of making cheating or any type of malpractices. Another way of

selection

commonly adopted in big companies is the reference test. Through reference

tests

, the employer can easily understand applicants professional as well as criminal records which will help to place the productive workers. In conclusion, even though interviewing candidate help in identifying the academic skills, l agree that combining an interview with other

selection

strategies

such

as written test and reference test will benefit more the company in hiring highly talented professionals.
