Revolutionise Your Hiring: Master 7 Interview Types for Optimal Talent Acquisition

Struggling to manage hundreds or even thousands of job applications? Traditional interviewing methods, like relying solely on one in-person interview, are no longer sufficient to meet today's hiring demands. This comprehensive course, "7 Types of Interviews and When to Use Them," provides smart employers, recruiters, and hiring managers with the essential tools to streamline your hiring process and efficiently select the best candidates for any role.

Discover how a strategic blend of interview types can transform your talent acquisition strategy. You'll learn how to quickly and effectively move the strongest candidates from resume submission to start date, saving valuable time and resources. This course is your definitive interview primer, exploring seven common interview styles and when to leverage each to their fullest potential. The right type of interview depends on your company, industry, team, corporate culture, and the specific position, and this course will guide you in making informed decisions.

Key insights you'll gain from exploring the seven common interview types:

• The Phone Interview: This is often used early in the interview process as it is the fastest, cheapest, and most efficient option, ideal for initial screening and narrowing down large candidate pools.
• The Video Interview: Utilising video conferencing software, this type blends the efficiency of a phone interview with the rapport-building of an in-person meeting, perfect for vetting candidates, especially relevant for remote workforces.
• The In-Person Interview: The most traditional type, it provides the best way to get a true sense of a candidate's personality, interpersonal skills, and corporate culture fit. It's ideal for more in-depth assessments and is best reserved for top candidates in the middle to final rounds of selection.
• The Panel Interview: When multiple people interview a candidate simultaneously, it helps to counteract interviewer bias by incorporating multiple perspectives in the hiring decision. It also saves time and is ideal for assessing top candidates in the late stages of the process.
• The Group Interview: This brings multiple candidates together for an interview, often in person. It's a quick way to screen candidates and observe how they interact with others and respond to pressure, particularly useful for high-volume hiring.
• The Social Interview: Conducted in a more casual setting (e.g., over lunch or coffee), this interview type encourages more open and honest responses, reflecting your high value on company culture and providing insight into how a candidate engages socially.
• The Capability Test: This involves giving candidates an exercise, assessment, or assignment that closely mirrors the day-to-day work of the position. It provides an objective assessment of a candidate's actual skills in action, minimising interviewer bias.
