Writing in the Times, Sathnam Sanghera explained that the first stage of recruitment entails reducing a longlist of applicants to a shortlist, which involves examining how each candidate's experience and skills match up to the key competencies required for the job.
The commentator then claimed that the interview stage is becoming more regulated, citing a recent interview he sat in on which required a presentation from the candidate followed by questions from a panel.
'Each member of the panel was given specific questions to ask each candidate, arranged under themes such as 'articulating the vision', 'understanding the context' and 'achieving delivery',' he added.
In addition, Mr Sanghera said that more complex selection techniques, such as psychometric reports and observations gathered by receptionists, are being used in recruitment.
Recently, mind consultant Dr Ali Binazir wrote on the Huffington Post that it is important to demonstrate confidence when being interviewed, as this is an attractive quality in employees.
