Here are the key types of interviews:
- Selection interview: Used to select the best candidate for a job opening.
- Appraisal interview: Used to provide performance feedback and identify areas for improvement.
- Exit interview: Conducted when an employee leaves the organization to understand their reasons for leaving.
- Grievance interview: Allows employees to voice complaints and helps resolve issues.
Other less common types include group interviews, screening interviews, stress interviews, and campus/off-campus interviews conducted by companies to recruit students. The goal of each type of interview is different but they all involve a formal question/answer process between an interviewer and interviewee.
