A working manager's guide to effective and legal employee selection interviewing
1ViaHealth, Rochester, NY, USA.
Abstract:
Employment interviewing as we know it today is an essential process but one fraught with potential traps and legal pitfalls. Overall, it is a far-from-perfect means of selecting employees, but it the best such means available. Effective interviewing requires thorough preparation, including knowledge of how to seek out the most helpful kinds of information available, complete information about the position as it currently exists, and detailed knowledge of what kinds of questions can or cannot be asked legally. Effective interviewing also depends on the development of one's ability to seek out intangible and factual information and use all that is learned, recognizing that the well-cultivated "gut-feel" is fully as important as "facts" in evaluating an employment applicant.
