Computer-aided interviewing overcomes first impressions
Article Abstract:
Some companies are now using computers to assist in the employment interviewing process. By using computers to administer structured employment interviews, employers avoid giving too much weight to first impressions. Computer-aided interviews also allow the interview to be more thorough by not rushing the interview process, not omitting important questions, avoiding interviewers who talk too much, and preventing ineffective use of interview data. Computer-aided interviewing evolved from the technique of structured, or patterned, interviewing. Computer interviewing supplements, rather than replaces, the face-to-face interview.
