If you know what you want it YES. it is easy to decide who u will hire. but if u r doing interviews and will select the best of them. then forget it is NO.
Interview is to select what you want to do the job and not to select the best one of the interviewees who might all be unfit for the job
Interviewing a candidate has never been easy. It involves foresight, vision and the ability to see through the interviewee’s mind. An interviewer should be able to throw questions, which must rattle a candidate, and should put him in the spot of bother. He should be able to look through an interviewee’s mind, and analyze his mental grasp of the situation.
no it is not easy because sometimes decisions are made too quickly or information in early stage of interview has a disproportionate influence on the decision some timesInterviewers are poorly prepared and ask too many questions.
No, the task is not easy. But, it becomes easy when the interviewer and the recruiter have an exact image of the employee they need of. It is an important, essential and final phase of the recruitment process which can never be skipped.. The interviewer needs to be equipped with educatinal, technical, sociological, psychological and ethical aspects of the job. Then he can easily choose the candidate out of so many who is best fit to the needed criteria and matches with the image what the recruiter and the interviwer have made in their mind according to the suitability of the job.
Example : If the interviewer is looking for the best candidate to manage contract for the construction of a high-rise building project, three (3) of the crucial interview questions may be the following :
1) In your previous experience, discuss your roles in managing a contract for a high-rise building construction.
2) In your previous experience, what system of control did you use to complete the project in a timely manner and within the budget. A follow up question will be asked why the interviewee has used such system that he mentioned.
3) Discuss what was the outcome of your previous project/s relative to your performance . (Discuss at least two (2) similar projects previously handled). A follow up question will be asked depending on the interviewee's answer to the foregoing question.
As the above questions required specific answers, the interviewer will be able to gauge what probable performance could be expected from a candidate when he is eventually hired for the position.
Yes It's very easy to find the right person for the job especially when:
Under my area of expertise It is very easy to determine who'd be a good fit for the organization i work for and whom not.
If ther Interviewer is competent enough can see through the person's knowledge and ability to handle the Job. By doing so can hire right person for right job.
It must be a very difficult job to judge somebody you just met. There are qualitative questions that determine some important aspect of a personality. Scarcity of job positions and the amount of talent available, these contraints makes it strenuous for the interviewer to select the best candidate.
Yes, if you know what exactly you looking for, and how good the interviewer is.
No, it is tough job, even it is face to face interview, you need to recognize the qualities,qualification, experience and attitude of candidates within few minutes or hours,
This is really tough job .
It is easy if you know what exactly you want..
The selection depends on a standard and Specific criteria (it should be like that).
