FREE online courses on Interviews - Right Person For The Right Job
Gut feel
Fast changing work ethics around the globe have made it
imperative to build a bridge of understanding between interviewers and
interviewees. After all, the interviewer and the interviewee are on the same
side of the table, despite facing each other across it.
The interviewee wants a job where he/she will be happy, while
the interviewer wants a satisfied employee who will do the job.
If the candidate `feels' right to the interviewer, then the job is
most likely to be in the bag.
Interviews offer guidelines in selecting the right man for
the right job. And when this happens, it is a Win-Win
situation for both, the interviewer and the interviewee. They are certainly
not a guarantee of best selection and can be made more effective by using them
in tandem with intelligence and psychological tests. But even these tests can
only provide pointers.
The final decision is often based on the gut feel
of the interviewer, which can
be improved by:
·Developing greater objectivity
·Grilling the candidate on relevant aspects of the job
