As we all know that during recruitment, interview is one Of the most critical tool that helps a company choose the candidate who might reshape the direction an Organization requires or destabilize the speed in which a company is using to achieve its goals.
We have seen a lot of factors that affects interview process which in most cases affect the choice of the candidate been selected.
A transparent and efficient process can yield a fruitful result but not necessarily selecting the right candidate.
State with reasons why you think your choice is the most adequate.
Is the question asked from the perspective of the recruiter or candidate? What do you mean by 'online'? Is it skype or soemthing? What is an 'offline' interview? 2 people in differnet places with no internet connection? Maybe reconsider the question or language used, it's not clear enough to answer.
Online interiew, choosing best talent all aroung the world & placing right candidate,at right time with right organisation,is one of main goals of HRM.
I would prefer off-line interview which is a face-to-face interview. Though it is expensive and time-consuming, there is depth understanding of a person in real life than online. For example, in an online interview there will be questions like 'How would you rate your Communication skills?' however, in an interview, there is no need of a question as it can be understood based on how they answer. Similarly, Time Management skills, Leadership skills, Risk taking ability, how they will react to a change as well as Confidence can be found in a Face to Face interview than an Online interview.
offline interview
it may sound like a costly solution, but i will use the Quality science term -based on my background- that " Poor quality is more costly"!
real interviews are more accurate and for high selection criteria,
for example, watching closely the body language during interviews can lead to impressions about stress toleration , so, the physical presence of the candidate gives a more accurate reading to the interviewer.
and definitely choosing the wrong candidate could much more costly than tickets ghtrind hotels for hiring the right persons, as experience proved!
