6 factors that can enhance the reliability and validity of a structured interview (Dipboye and Gaugler):
  • the interviewer should ask standardized questions
  • the interviewer should have detailed information about the job in question
  • the interviewer should not have prior information about the interviewee, such as psychological test scores
  • the interviewer should not evaluate the interviewee until the interview is completed
  • the interviewer should make ratings of individual dimensions of the interviewee, such as educational background and relevance of prior work history, rather than a global rating of suitability for the job.
  • interviewers should receive training in how to conduct a valid structured interview.
