Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Structured interviews have a set of predetermined questions that are asked in the same order to all candidates, which helps to standardize the interview process and make it more reliable and valid as a selection tool. Holding interviewers to common questioning further increases the reliability and validity of the interviews. Casual and impromptu interviews lack structure and consistency, while conducting interviews over the phone can result in less reliable assessment due to the inability to observe nonverbal cues. The choice of who conducts the interview (middle managers or otherwise) does not directly impact the reliability and validity of the interview process.
