Human Resource Strategy Brings What Benefits: To Organizations

By John Lok

My view emphasizes that the traditional interview process is often flawed due to human cognitive biases. My insights focus on shifting the interview from a subjective "gut-feeling" conversation to a structured, psychologically grounded assessment.

My view provides regarding the role of psychology in enhancing HR interview techniques:

1. Mitigating Cognitive Biases

My view argues that human interviewers are naturally prone to psychological shortcuts that lead to poor hiring decisions.

My view highlights the impact of: The Halo Effect: Where one positive trait (e.g., a candidate's confidence) colors the interviewer's perception of all other traits.

Confirmation Bias: Where interviewers form an initial impression within seconds and spend the rest of the interview looking for evidence to confirm that impression rather than objectively assessing the candidate.

Similarity Bias: The tendency to favor candidates who share similar backgrounds, interests, or personality traits with the interviewer.Insight:

My view advocates for structured interviews as the primary psychological defense against these biases, ensuring every candidate is evaluated against the same criteria in my this book.
