Q. Interviews form the basic selecting criteria for most large companies. However, some people think that the interview is not a reliable method of choosing whom to employ and there are other better methods. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some experts believe that the interview is the main factor in which an employee should get a chance to work in an organization. However, some argue against this perception and believe that this is not the only way to select a person, there may be other reliable methods of selecting a workforce. I agree with the latter view to some extent.

There are myriad reasons why an employer considers an interview to be the best way among all other alternatives. Firstly, it includes face-to-face interaction with the person which can benefit the employer in understanding the real potential of people. Secondly, it is useful for accessing traits related to their personality, especially their communication skills, which is essential for an employee to work in any department. In addition to this, the interviewer can judge people's mental abilities by giving them tasks related to their capabilities.

In addition, companies also find that it helps them hire the right person compared to other competitive exams. For example, it may be possible for a person with good academic results to be unable to perform a particular task, therefore, resulting in lower productivity. Moreover, it is impossible to ensure the correctness of the information provided by the candidate in the curriculum vitae in other selection forms. Although it has various advantages that outweigh the disadvantages, yet I believe that there should be a mix of both terminologies in order to appoint a worker in a company. There are some jobs that do not require personal skills, for example, they are not required for the position of a computer operator. Written and theoretical knowledge alone is sufficient to fill a vacancy for this position.

To conclude, I would like to reiterate that if I approach it logically then I believe that there are some jobs which do not require to conduct an interview. Therefore, it is wise to say that firms should use a combination of these terms depending on the requirement of a particular position while selecting an employee.
