Structured interviewing

Ask consistently. Evaluate evidence.

Structured interviews help organizations ask job-related questions consistently and compare responses against defined criteria.

01

Job-related questions

Tie questions to the role and the factors being evaluated.

02

Consistent delivery

Use the same core questions for candidates competing for the same role.

03

Response notes

Capture evidence and examples instead of relying on memory.

04

Defined ratings

Use clear criteria to evaluate the quality and relevance of responses.

How to use the evidence

Ask the same core questions. Document the evidence.

Structure improves consistency only when questions connect to the job and interviewers use defined criteria to evaluate the response.

Frequently asked questions

Using Structured Interviewing Guide Keep the evidence in context.

Review what the information can support, what it cannot establish, and what other evidence belongs in the decision.

Why use the same core questions?+

Consistency improves comparability and reduces the influence of improvised questioning.

Can assessment results guide follow-up?+

Yes. They can identify areas to explore without assuming the result is correct or complete.

Should interviewers see assessment results first?+

That depends on the organization’s process. If they do, they should avoid confirmation bias and evaluate responses independently.

What should response notes capture?+

Job-related examples, evidence, context, and the candidate’s explanation.
