Importance:

Conducting personal interviews has always been a very popular methodology for assessing candidates for recruitment, both in small and large organisations. Both the proper preparation and the successful conduct of a personal interview require the proper training of the individuals who take part in the process as interviewers. The selection of the most competent candidates is very important for any organisation, in view of the fact that, to a large extent, the future performance and effectiveness of the organisation is at stake. Conducting selection interviews in a systematic and structured manner enhances the image of the organisation in the eyes of the candidates and also improves the wider credibility image of the organisation in the labour market. It is also important as interviewers objectively assess specific professional qualities, (competencies), which the organisation wants its human resource members to demonstrate within the context of their work. This is achieved by preparing and asking targeted questions within the framework of a competency-based interview.
