"Traditional interviews are often unstructured and rely on hiring managers' intuition, leading to biases such as similarity bias and halo effects that distort candidate evaluations."
"Despite decades of research showing that traditional interviews are only moderately reliable predictors of performance, organizations continue to rely on them heavily."

"Charisma often outperforms competence in interviews, as first impressions can overshadow actual qualifications and abilities."
Job interviews have not evolved significantly despite advancements in data science and behavioral assessments. Traditional interviews often rely on unstructured formats where hiring managers make decisions based on intuition and biases rather than objective evidence. Common biases include similarity bias, halo effects, and culture fit, which can distort the evaluation of candidates. Despite research indicating that these interviews are only moderately reliable, hiring managers continue to believe in their ability to identify talent through this outdated process.
