The in-person interview is a common step in the hiring process. In fact for many recruiting leaders, it is the only job candidate evaluation conducted for frontline employee hiring. But how effective are interviews? In this blog series pulled from our eBook - Using an Interview to Select Frontline Job Candidates, we discuss types of interviews, delivery methods, and effectiveness.

How does your interview compare to these types of interviews? Unstructured, structured behavioral, or somewhere in the middle?
