Structured Interview Definition
A structured interview is a standardized interview format where every candidate gets the same job-focused questions and the same rating criteria.
"I need fair, comparable answers so hiring decisions are based on ability, not who had the flashiest conversation."
A structured interview uses a predetermined set of behavioral and situational questions plus a scoring rubric so you evaluate every candidate on the same dimensions. It reduces bias and increases predictive validity of interview results.
