“We live in a world where we increasingly rely on technology, but this survey remembers us that personal interactions should never be underestimated,” Said this survey from the author Nikki Blacksmith, a doctor and a candidate at George Washington University.
This survey is found that in-person interviews yielded better impressions for both the company and the candidate.
“Many times, the candidate does not have a choice in the format of the interview. However, the company does have an option and if they are not consistent with the type of interview they use across candidates, it could result in fairness issues and even possibly a lawsuit,”
Noted Blacksmith
To compare the effectiveness of in-person and technology-mediated interviews, Ms Blacksmith and her co-author of authors examined some of the articles published from 2000 - 2007 that included interviewer and interviewee or the ratings, that is, assessment of how the company and the candidate performed during the interview.
This survey is found that all overall, technology-mediated interviews resulted in softer marks for both the company and the candidate of the company that why this survey valuable for the candidate.
Within that category, of video of interviews received the most negative rankings, followed by telephone and computer interviews.
Face-to-face interviews received more favourable rankings that's why it's a most loved way for the new generation because they got knowledge regarding this.
More, the research looked at the impact of time on the ratings, assuming that as people became more accustomed to the technology and it improved or advanced, they would rate it higher.
In fact, the opposite occurred, and ratings became more negative for more recent studies, showing the findings published in the journal Personnel Assessment and Decisions.
