Impact of perception on employee interviewing process
Impact of perception on employee interviewing process
Perception can be regarded as a process by which individuals organize and interpret their
sensory impressions in order to give meaning to their environment. Therefore, individuals tend
to accumulate several information regarding other employees or any other organizational
instance and such information is interpreted as well as evaluated in order to create a proper
response towards them (Bigelow, 2022) .
There are several factors which would influence towards the perception. Past experience of the
individuals would affect towards creating a perception and the perception would also get
changed in line with the motivation or the objective of the individual. Further, mood of the
individual would affect towards the perception and the personality of the employees would
create implications for the perception (Bigelow, 2022) .
Implications of perception would affect towards the employee recruitment process as well as
following perceptional implications would affect towards the interviewing process of the
employees which can be comprehensively discussed as follows.
Halo Effect
when an individual draws a general impression about another person based on a single
characteristic, such as intelligence, sociability, or appearance.
Stereotype
Several perceptions would create early judgements regarding several tasks or individuals
limiting several things to a stipulated category such as good athletes would create good
salesman.
Contrast effect
The employees tend to be evaluated or compared with the other person instead of evaluating
the stipulated person individually. Therefore, perception tend to be changed based on the
other thing or person who is used for the comparison purposes (beapplied.com, 2022) .
Profiling
Analysis of psychological and behavioural characteristics of the employees in order to predict
their capabilities for a stipulated category and identifying several categories of people
(merittrac.com, 2020) .
Therefore, effectiveness of the recruitment and interviewing process would be challenged due
to these concerns.
