Correct Answer: Subjectivity and bias


Solution : The correct answer is (a) Subjectivity and bias

Interviews involve direct interaction between the interviewer and the candidate, which can introduce subjective elements into the evaluation process. Interviewers' perceptions, interpretations, and personal biases can influence the assessment of candidates. Factors such as non-verbal cues, first impressions, or personal preferences may inadvertently impact the interviewer's judgment, leading to subjective decision-making.

While interviews provide opportunities for direct interaction and assessing candidates' communication skills, they have limitations due to subjectivity and potential bias. To mitigate these drawbacks, organizations can incorporate structured interviews, utilize multiple interviewers, and employ standardized evaluation criteria to enhance objectivity and reduce bias in the selection process. Supplementing interviews with additional selection tools, such as assessments and tests, can also provide a more comprehensive and objective evaluation of candidates.
