Structured and Unstructured Interviews

More companies are using structured interviews such as the situational interview and the behavior description interview because they are more valid and accurate in predicting future work performance. Many applicants and interviewers, however, still prefer the unstructured interview because applicants believe there is more freedom to display their talents, and interviewers believe they can assess candidates better.

Also some say that interviews are used too much since there may be better selection practices that can assess knowledge, skills, and abilities more effectively?
