Some people believe that having interviews is the best way to find new employees for a company. Others say that there are better alternative ways to appoint employees. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Organizations come up with new strategies to procure suitable talent for themselves. Some feel that the most popular method of selecting people for jobs with the help of interviews is adequate, while others believe there can be better methods to appoint employees. So, I think these discussions are necessary for a recruitment process, but they can be implemented along with some more procedures.

A face-to-face or online interview helps an employer judge a prospective employee on many levels. Such a meeting helps assess a person’s communication and social skills and gives a sense of familiarity with the new person. Moreover, these meetings also help better assess a person’s core or technical knowledge by judging the accuracy, response time, and confidence in delivering answers to these questions. Thus, generally, there are multiple one-to-one interviews with the candidate to assess their capabilities.

On the other hand, some believe that other methods can be employed for recruitment, some of which may save time and prove beneficial under specific circumstances. One of the ways is selecting individuals from reputed universities or schools based on their performance and marks during their time in these institutions, which may be suitable for recruiting freshers. In addition, some processes may employ artificial intelligence-based online tools to evaluate a candidate. Overall, these methods may save time by avoiding travelling.

Finally, I believe interviews can not be bypassed, for a job position should be offered only after an employer gains absolute confidence in a person, which can not happen before a few interviews. However, it can be valuable to append interviews with a few more approaches, such as considering university scores and using online tools for screening in the initial steps. Thus, these methods can jointly enhance the efficiency of the hiring process for the organization and a candidate.
