Experiments
have shown that in selecting personnel for a job, interviewing is at best a
hindrance,
and may even cause harm. These studies have disclosed
that the judgements of interviewers differ
markedly and bear little or no
relationship to the adequacy of the job. Of the many reasons why
this
should be the case, three in particular stand out? The first reason is
related to an error of
judgements known as the halo effect. If a person has
one noticeable good trait, this other
characteristics will be judged as
better than they really are. Thus, an individual who
dresses smartly and
shows self-confidence is likely to be judged capable of doing a job well
regardless of his or her ability. Interviewers are also prejudiced by an effect
called the primary
effect. This error occurs when interpretations of later
information is distorted by earlier connected
information. Hence, in an
interview situation, the interviewer spends most of the interview trying
to
confirm the impression given by the candidate in the first few moments.
Studies have repeatedly
demonstrated that such an impression is unrelated
to the aptitude of the applicant.
The
phenomenon known as the contrast effect also skews the judgment of
interviewers. A suitable
candidate may be under–estimated because he or she
contrasts with a previous one who appears
exceptionally intelligent. Likewise an
average candidate who is preceded by one who gives’
a weak showing
may be judged as more suitable then he or she really is.
