Factors Affecting Interviews
 First impressions
– The tendency for interviewers to jump to
conclusions—make snap judgments—about
candidates during the first few minutes of the
interview.
– Negative bias: unfavorable information about an
applicant influences interviewers more than does
positive information.
© 2005 Prentice Hall Inc. All rights reserved. 7–11
Factors Affecting Interviews (cont’d)
 Misunderstanding the job
– Not knowing precisely what the job entails and
what sort of candidate is best suited causes
interviewers to make decisions based on incorrect
stereotypes of what a good applicant is.
 Candidate-order error
– An error of judgment on the part of the interviewer
due to interviewing one or more very good or very
bad candidates just before the interview in
question.
© 2005 Prentice Hall Inc. All rights reserved. 7–12
Factors Affecting Interviews (cont’d)
 Nonverbal behavior and impression
management
– Interviewers’ inferences of the interviewee’s
personality from the way he or she acts in the
interview have a large impact on the interviewer’s
rating of the interviewee.
– Clever interviewees attempt to manage the
impression they present to persuade interviewers
to view them more favorably.
© 2005 Prentice Hall Inc. All rights reserved. 7–13
Factors Affecting Interviews (cont’d)
 Effect of personal characteristics:
attractiveness, gender, race
– Interviewers tend have a less favorable view of
candidates who are:
• Physically unattractive
• Female
• Of a different racial background
• Disabled
© 2005 Prentice Hall Inc. All rights reserved. 7–14
Factors Affecting Interviews (cont’d)
 Interviewer behaviors affecting interview
outcomes
– Inadvertently telegraphing expected answers.
– Talking so much that applicants have no time to
answer questions.
– Letting the applicant dominate the interview.
– Acting more positively toward a favored (or similar
to the interviewer) applicant.
© 2005 Prentice Hall Inc. All rights reserved. 7–15
Designing and Conducting the Interview
 The structured situational interview
– Use either situational questions (preferred) or
behavioral questions that yield high criteria-related
validities.
– Step 1: Job Analysis
– Step 2: Rate the Job’s Main Duties
– Step 3: Create Interview Questions
– Step 4: Create Benchmark Answers
– Step 5: Appoint the Interview Panel and Conduct
Interviews
© 2005 Prentice Hall Inc. All rights reserved. 7–16
How to Conduct an Effective Interview
 Structure your interview:
1. Base questions on actual job duties.
2. Use job knowledge, situational, or behaviorally oriented
questions and objective criteria to evaluate the
interviewee’s responses.
3. Train interviewers.
4. Use the same questions with all candidates.
5. Use descriptive rating scales (excellent, fair, poor) to rate
answers.
6. Use multiple interviewers or panel interviews.
7. If possible, use a standardized interview form.
8. Control the interview.
9. Take brief, unobtrusive notes during the interview.
