Some people believe that having interviews is the best way to find new employees for a company. Others say that there are better alternative ways to appoint employees. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

While some

people

think that the best way to hire new

employees

for a

company

is an interview, others believe that there are some ways that are better. I will discuss both of these views and give my thoughts.

To begin

with, an interview has been used for many years when many companies want to find new

employees

. Some

people

think it is the best way possible.

Additionally

, it is

also

simple, does not take too much time, can be even less than an hour per candidate. Despite its simplicity, there are some drawbacks as well.

For instance

, many companies nowadays, especially in Thailand, just gather candidates’ information from their resumes. By

this

, some

people

can make up their profile to look good, so they can get hired by the

company

they want,

hence

a

company

may not get the best

employees

by only interviewing.

On the other hand

, some individuals argue that if employers want the best from their

employees

, there are better ways to do so and I agree. As far as I’m concerned, an interview might not be the best way to hire the right person for the job, some jobs may require more abilities than others,

such

as programming.

Instead

of interviewing, candidates should be given tasks to complete, which like what they have to do at the workplace, whoever can handle the task better will get the job.

This

might be one example, where the

company

should not rely only on traditional hiring methods. In conclusion, even though having interviews has been used to hire

employees

for decades and some

people

have been thinking that it is the most suitable for every job hiring process, there are other ways that might be better for some jobs as well. Executing a given task,

for example

, is one thing that can be done.
