Interviews form the basic selection criteria for most large companies. However some people think that interview is not a reliable method of choosing whom to employ. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Job

interviews

are commonly undertaken by companies of all sizes seeking candidates to fill a role. They often consist of dialogues between a Human Resources representative of these organisations and the professional interested in the position. During the conversation, the applicant's profile in terms of qualifications, skills and work experience is assessed against the criteria and employer’s expectations.

However

, some people argue

this

approach is insufficient for capturing the right employee. In my opinion, to ensure a more accurate hiring process, other methodologies should be explored along with

interviews

,

such

as group activities and personality quizzes. The importance of

interviews

when it comes to selecting new individuals to integrate a team cannot be dinned. It has proved to be the most traditional and practical framework largely adopted worldwide. They can offer vital insights about an applicant and lead to more informed decisions.

However

, individuals often act like robots when being interviewed, answering questions in a way recruiters will be happy about. In

this

sense, other approaches should be introduced for a more holistic understanding of the candidate's capabilities. Modern organisations are already introducing new techniques to choose4 the best matches for their teams. These contemporary assessments evaluate professionals during activities designed to capture the candidate's behaviour in complex situations where pressure and conflicts are common. In

this

case, applicants tend to express their real selves, values and logical thinking. The findings are often combined with the interview results in a profile-matching exercise. Another way to

further

assess the job seekers' profiles is by assigning them personality quizzes. Quizzes are powerful tools that can be used to gather information about a professional’s strengths and weaknesses.

In addition

, these tests can detect which professionals can naturally act like mediators and which need to be led by others.

Thus

, they can assist in allocating workers to the right team and role. In conclusion,

interviews

will always be important as they are still insightful, simple, and straightforward, demanding minimum resources to be executed.

Nevertheless

, when combined with other methodologies, the hiring process may become more precise and efficient. In

this

case, companies need to invest time and money to introduce these complementary approaches, which may make sense for some businesses and positions but not the majority.
