The article critiques the rise of standardized interviews, highlighting their predictability and formulaic nature that detracts from genuine interaction. Despite their intended purpose of fairness and eliminating biases, the structured format can lead to dehumanizing experiences and a superficial assessment of candidates. The author argues that the false notion of fairness inherent in these interviews overlooks the essential concept of equity and the unique qualifications of individuals. They call for a reevaluation of interview practices for healthier workplace dynamics and more meaningful assessments of candidates.
The structured interview rests on the assumption that the elimination of the interviewer's subjective, individual perspective results in greater objectivity and thus less discrimination.
These flat and dehumanizing conversations are just as pointless as they seem to anyone who has been subjected to one.
