-

 






This days in Sri Lanka an employee choose method was interviews. In generally

 interview means that formal meeting with interviewer & interviewee where ask the

 questions & answers are given by later.

Select and recruit correct candidate for a job this process is usually done to identify each other. Interview is main part of selection process by most of employer. Reserchers as shown that interviews are included 90% selection process that In word wide take place (P.Maharajan, 2018)

There are some limitations available in interviews

Incomplete process

Interviews is not final one there is another process available for this. It is because interviews do not help in take out every single detail about the candidate

For an instant, company is in need technical employee, like writer company have do the written test in order to how well are their vocabulary and other skills required to create a good piece of work.

 

Incomplete information

An interview is held for get correct candidate for the organization. Sometime negligence of interviewer and interviewee that company can miss the collection of correct information.

For example, when an interviewer is inactively directing the interview, he/she might forget to ask the interviewee even important questions. In the same way, an interviewee might give wrong or inappropriate answers when he/she does not listen to the question attentively.

 

Mentally disturbing

There are various methods of interview, among which methods like behavioral, puzzle and stress interviews are known to put the interviewee under intense pressure condition. Questions asked by the interviewers during such interviews can leave the interviewee mentally disturbed.

 

Effect of interviewer’s personality and mood

The selection of interview questions and the level of scrutiny can depend upon interviewer’s personality and their mood. Interviewers who are easygoing or in good mood can ask questions that are comparatively easier and can even select candidates who are less capable of further consideration. In contrast, strict and more demanding interviewers can reject even qualified candidates.

 

Snap judgment

Interviews are arranged for a specific period of time during which the interviewer tries to collect as much information as possible about the candidate by asking several questions.

The interviewer then judges the entire nature, personality and attitude of the candidate on the only basis of the answers given by the interviewee.
The preference of words of an interviewee can define him/her only to some extent, not completely.

    I would like to add that, there can be instances where the candidates may face a mentally disturbing phase due to questioning methods or different interview techniques. Also, interviewers’ temperament or the mood have a direct impact on the interview (Businesstopia, 2019).

      In the absence of an interviewer standing over them, respondents are more likely to answer truthfully or give answers to personal questions & They can be easily replicated to test reliability

    Agreed with you Chandana. An interview can considered as a reliable technique for collecting information, but it does not correct always. Sometimes, due to the negligence of interviewer and interviewee, the company can miss the gathering of important information (Maharjan, 2018).

      Job interviews are considered as an important part of the selection and hiring process. The suitability of the applicant can be clearly assessed through this process.

    While agreeing to your arguments made with respect to the limitation of interviews. Breaugh (2000) explains, judgement of interviewers is a common factor that will affect the selection process. Such as use of preferred wordings, qualities or the appearance may influence the decision-making process of the interviewer which is not ideal when selecting the best candidate and this showcase the boundaries of interview process.

      The recruitment process of an organization, be it of any sector would always like to hire the best candidates as their employees. As the market is flooded with a lot of capable candidates, toughening the entire hiring process is the only solution to pick the right candidate for the organization interviews.
