Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Organizational Behavior
  • Human Resources

Background:

  • Selection interviews are critical for hiring and talent acquisition.
  • Traditional 1-on-1 interviews are widely used, but group interviews offer potential efficiencies.
  • Research comparing the validity and fairness of these formats is ongoing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the predictive validity of 1-on-1 versus group selection interviews.
  • To assess applicant perceptions of fairness for each interview format.
  • To determine if response order in group interviews influences response quality.

Main Methods:

  • 91 undergraduates participated in either a 1-on-1 or a group interview for a scholarship.
  • Interviewer predictions of academic potential were recorded.
  • Applicant perceptions of fairness were measured.
  • The impact of response order on response quality in group interviews was analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Interviewers using the 1-on-1 format were significantly better at predicting applicants' academic potential.
  • Applicant response order in group interviews significantly affected the quality of their responses.
  • No specific findings on fairness perceptions were detailed in the provided abstract.

Conclusions:

  • The 1-on-1 interview format demonstrates higher predictive validity for academic potential compared to group interviews.
  • The structure of group interviews, specifically response order, can influence the assessment of candidates.
  • Further research may be needed to explore fairness perceptions and optimize group interview methodologies.
