structured interview
Scripted candidate evaluation
A structured interview follows a predetermined format—the same questions in the same order for every candidate.
This standardization aims to reduce bias and allow fair comparison across applicants: We use structured interviews to ensure consistency in hiring.
The opposite is an unstructured interview, which flows more like conversation.
