What is interviewer?

An interviewer is a person who conducts an interview, typically to gather information, assess skills, or evaluate qualifications. Interviewers can be found in a variety of settings, including employment, journalism, market research, and law enforcement, and they use questions and other techniques to gather information from the person being interviewed. The goal of the interviewer is often to gain insight into the interviewee's thoughts, experiences, and qualifications.

What do you mean by interviewer and interviewee?

An interviewer is a person who conducts an interview and an interviewee is a person who is being interviewed. In an interview setting, the interviewer asks questions to gather information, assess skills, or evaluate qualifications of the interviewee. The interviewee answers the questions and provides information about themselves to the interviewer. This exchange helps the interviewer to gain insight into the interviewee's thoughts, experiences, and qualifications.

What are interviewer skills?

Interviewer skills refer to the abilities and qualities that a person needs to effectively conduct an interview. Some common interviewer skills include:

  • Communication skills: The ability to clearly and effectively communicate questions, listen to answers, and provide feedback.
  • Active listening: The ability to pay attention and understand the interviewee's responses.
  • Empathy: The ability to understand and relate to the interviewee's experiences and perspectives.
  • Objectivity: The ability to remain impartial and avoid personal biases while evaluating the interviewee.

  • Conflict resolution skills: The ability to handle any misunderstandings or conflicts that may arise during the interview.
  • Cultural awareness: The ability to understand and respect cultural differences in the interviewee's communication style.

Having these skills helps the interviewer to effectively gather information, assess the interviewee's qualifications, and make informed decisions.

What are the types of interviewers?

There are several types of interviewers, including:

  • Structured Interviewer: Follows a strict set of questions and scoring criteria, with little room for deviation or unplanned questions.
  • Unstructured Interviewer: Uses a more informal approach with open-ended questions, allowing for a more conversational flow.

  • Stress Interviewer: Uses high-pressure tactics to evaluate how the interviewee responds under stress.
  • Group Interviewer: Interviews several candidates at once in a group setting, evaluating their interaction and collaboration skills.
  • Panel Interviewer: Involves a group of interviewers asking questions to the same candidate, often from different departments or with different areas of expertise.

The type of interviewer and the approach used will depend on the specific job requirements, the interviewee's qualifications, and the organization's interviewing goals and policies.
