Publisher's Synopsis
Research shows that structured interviews are markedly superior to the traditional approach found in so many organizations. They produce selection and promotion decisions that are fairer and more consistent, and as a predictor of future job performance they have much greater validity. - - This book describes and illustrates the two main approaches to structured interviewing: the behavioural description interview and the situational interview. It explains: - - ò how to plan the interview - ò how to develop suitable questions - ò how to conduct the interview - ò how to evaluate candidates. - - The text is supported by specimen forms, job analyses and interview questions. Also included are complete structured interview guides covering three different jobs. - - For personnel professionals - and indeed all managers anxious to improve the quality of decision-making in this key area - Structured Employment Interviewing represents an invaluable resource.
