interviewing
HR
the practice of asking questions of another person in order to gain information and make an assessment. Interviewing is a selection tool used in recruitment to assess somebody’s suitability for a job. A structured interview relies on asking the same job-related questions of all candidates and systematically evaluating their responses. There are two principal models: the behavioral interview, which strives to find out how applicants have behaved in the past in similar situations; and the situational interview, in which they are asked hypothetical questions to determine how they might act in the future. Interviewing is a technique also used in counseling, performance appraisal, and as part of a disciplinary procedure (see discipline).
