Panel Interviews: A Recommended Strategy

In the previous video clip, it was clear that all of the interviewers were equally ignorant of appropriate and legal interview questions. However, in most circumstances, a group or panel interview helps to ensure fair and objective screening and evaluation of candidates.

Panel interviews are recommended because this type of interview usually tends to be more focused and job-related. Panel members are accountable to each other and aware that they are being observed; therefore, questions tend to be more to the point and personal biases are reduced. Also, by participating simultaneously, all interviewers are able to evaluate the same sample of the candidate's responses and presentation.
