Question 1
The unstructured Interview:
With this type of interview the number and type of questions are left entirely to the interview’s discretion. While this gives s an experienced interviewer a degree of freedom, the process becomes suspect & could be challenged.
The structured interview:
It’s characterized by planning and the use of skilled interviews. The interview is clear and usually the interviewers have a pre-prepared list of questions. Interviewers are free to add additional questions as and when they choose, however the overall framework is structured to ensure achievement of the objectives as well as consistency and fairness. Within this framework interviewers will ask questions which probe the applicant’s ability to functionally perform the job as well as his/her motivational level ability to meet various working conditions such as travel arrangements and try to establish his/her fit with organization culture. There is a pre-determined question list, a scouring mechanism, a well trained interviewer and more than one interviewer will be present.
I would prefer the structured interview format. With this format you as the interviewer are well prepared in advance which gives you clear guidelines of how to go about during the interview process and consistency and fairness will be achieved.
