interviewing techniques

Candidate assessment approaches

Interviewing techniques are methods used to conduct effective interviews, whether for hiring, journalism, research, or investigation.

These include open-ended questioning, active listening, building rapport, and strategic silence.

In job contexts, behavioral interviewing asks candidates to describe past situations: Tell me about a time you handled conflict.

Skilled interviewers know when to probe deeper and when to let subjects talk.
