The Ubiquity and Limitations of Job Interviews

Job interviews are a common practice in nearly all private companies, with 99% utilizing them to select candidates. Despite the widespread belief that face-to-face evaluations provide the best insights into a candidate's character, research suggests otherwise. Studies have shown that interviews often fail to accurately predict future job performance, which raises questions about their effectiveness. This inconsistency is evident in findings that reveal job-related interviews performed poorly compared to statistical methods in assessing candidates' capabilities.
