Interviews form the basic selection criteria for most large 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 it disagree?

Large companies recruit employees based on their performance in an

interview

. But some believe that there are better methods to select a

person

to be part of the company. I agree with the view that there are other reliable methods to assess a

person

for a job. Out of all the reasons, the foremost one is that a one-day event like an

interview

cannot provide adequate information about a

person

's professional skills. As

interviews

are held either in-

person

or through an online mode in some instances, the interviewee's stress levels can interfere with their performance in the

interview

.

On the other hand

, an

interview

can, at times, give a deceptive picture even though he or she is not well suited for the company.

For example

, a

person

who can verbally convince the

interviewer

that they have the skills to be a software engineer, might not be efficient in situations that require one to function under pressure and meet deadlines. Another reason that I think that

interviews

are not an apt way of hiring an employee is that personal biases and the mental state of the

interviewer

at the time of the event can affect the outcome of the process.

For example

, if the

interviewer

is biased toward individuals of a certain nationality or race, an ideal candidate might be missed out because of the negligent actions of the

interviewer

. In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that I prefer a more reliable method than

interviews

to recruit an employee.

This

is because

interviews

cannot give an accurate picture of the applicant's professional skills and the personal biases of the

interviewer

can affect the outcome of the process. A better alternative to

interviews

would be to, filter out individuals based on educational and professional qualifications for the job and evaluate them during a probationary period where tasks of varying complexities are used to assess the individual.

This

can give the company the exact representation of a

person

's abilities.
