A Job Interview is used by potential employers and sometimes even by recruiters to evaluate and question a job applicant. The job interview allows the hiring manager to discuss with the applicant their qualifications for the job opening before making a decision to offer employment.
Conducting an in-person job interview is a time intensive approach to screening applicants. Because of this, several types of interviews techniques have been developed to accommodate both the types of questions that might be asked and to save time when screening applicants for a particular job opening. Some of the more common types of job interviews include:
- Phone Interview - a type of screening interview held over the telephone
- Screening interview - an interview with a recruiter or a member of a company's human resources department
- Panel Interview - an interview conducted with several members of the hiring company at the same time
- Situational Interview - an interviewing technique that asks the applicant to explain their experience when placed in several scenarios
- Stress Interviews - an interview where the job applicant is unknowingly placed in a stressful environment
- Exit Interview - unlike the previously mentioned interviews that involve job candidates, this interview is conducted with existing employees that have chosen to leave a company.
Other forms of this term include - job interviews, job interviewing |
