About Interviewing candidates MCQs
This HRM topic focuses on the most widely used selection tool. Questions ask you to recognise an unstructured interview, where questions follow no set format, and a structured interview, where questions and acceptable answers are prepared in advance. You will distinguish situational interviews, which ask how a candidate would behave in a given situation, from behavioural interviews, which ask about relevant past experiences. Group and panel interviews also appear, along with the definition of an interview as obtaining information orally and directly. Short scenario questions test whether you can match each description to the right term.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between situational and behavioural interviews?
A situational interview asks candidates how they would act in a hypothetical job situation, focusing on future behaviour. A behavioural interview asks how they actually handled similar situations in the past, on the basis that past behaviour predicts future performance.
What is a structured interview?
A structured interview uses a fixed set of questions, often with model answers and a rating scale prepared in advance, and every candidate is asked the same questions. This makes comparisons fairer and usually improves the reliability and validity of selection decisions.
