A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF ON‐CAMPUS INTERVIEWING

Abstract

Understanding how to effectively and lawfully gain information from a prospective employee is an important skill for business managers to master. The decision to hire an individual results in long‐term consequences‐turn‐over rates, levels of productivity, training costs, and company image. Because getting the right person in the right job is so important to the success of any business, many managers personally want to interview the potential employee. Yet few can boast of making a perfect hiring decision. In fact, half of all new hires in America stay with a company no more than six months; and each mis‐hire can cost 30 to 50 per cent above annual salary in lost productivity and expense of replacement (Bacas, 1987).
