Search Committee Interview Simulation Exercise<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Job interviews are the most popular pre-employment assessment approach available, and they make sense. If you are going to hire someone who you will see for many hours a week, you should try to understand their past accomplishments and establish whether or not you can get along with the person. \u00a0However, interviews range from unstructured to structured, and results vary depending on who is conducting the interview. Ultimately, as hard as we might try, we are all affected by biases. \u00a0The interview simulation exercise can allow for applicants (and search committee participants) to navigate the interview process objectively and to evaluate managing any recognized bias one may have during the process.<\/p>\n
