Unstructured vs. Structured Interview
In unstructured or nondirective Interviews… the Interviewer pursues points of
interest as they come up in response to questions.
• Interviewer for same job may or may not get the same or similar question.
In structured or directive Interviews… following a set sequence of questions.
• The Interviewer specifies the questions ahead of time.
• Same set of questions, because of this, these Interviews tend to be more
reliable and valid.
• But this type of Interview don’t provide enough opportunity to candidate to
express their interest.
