Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Structuring the interview and the interviewing procedure can help to increase its reliability and validity. This can be done by using a standardized set of questions, having multiple interviewers who conduct each interview the same way, and using objective scoring criteria to evaluate candidates' responses. Asking different questions to each candidate and preparing the applicant for the interview may improve the interview experience but are unlikely to increase validity and reliability. Interviewing only one applicant for each job is not feasible in most cases.
