Structured interviews are scientifically proven to help you make better hiring decisions. They present each applicant with exactly the same questions in the same order—and all questions are based on competencies required for the job. Every candidate is evaluated using a common rating scale and interviewers submit their ratings separately to minimize bias.

Structured Interviews vs. Unstructured Interviews

In unstructured interviews, interviewers often ask different questions to different candidates, or they’re subconsciously swayed by characteristics that have nothing to do with a candidate’s ability to do the job.

With structured interviews, candidates are selected based on objective rankings—not subjective instincts. Also known as standardized interviews, structured interviews are a tried and true hiring best practice backed by years of research into their effectiveness.

Predictive Validity of a Successful Hire



There are 2 types of structured interview guides:

Digital Structured Interview Guides &
In-person Digital Structured Interview Guides

The difference is SIMPLE.

Simplified Hybrid Interviews

VidCruiter has digitized the structured video interviewing process to make it easier than ever to adopt—no matter what type of interview you’re conducting.

Imagine a scenario with two in-person interviewers and three interviewers joining through video conferencing. With VidCruiter, all five interviewers can access the same interview guides from any device at the same time—and score the candidate in real-time. Scores are automatically consolidated and added to the applicant’s profile, then ranked against other candidates.



WHY ADD STRUCTURED GUIDES TO YOUR INTERVIEWING PROCESS?

Hiring Bias

Minimize Hiring Bias

Too often, candidates are asked different questions depending on the interviewer, which can lead to accidental bias and hiring mistakes. Structured interviews make it much easier for interviewers to stay objective and organized by promoting objectivity, uniformity, and fairness. Everyone can be confident each candidate was evaluated based on the same criteria.

Scoring Baseline

Establish a Reliable Scoring Baseline

All interviewers’ scores are automatically compiled, calculated, and directly integrated within applicant profiles. This makes it easy to compare job applicants after the interview. Now that’s smart recruiting.
