Abstract

Length of the interview, applicants' behavior, and interview strategy were manipulated to investigate their interactive effects on ratings and hiring decisions. 202 students viewed either a short or long interview in which the applicant displayed inappropriate or appropriate behaviors and responded to questions which either covered a variety of topics or requested more detail on topics questioned in the beginning of the interview. The behavioral manipulation affected all ratings. Interestingly, interview duration and interview strategy independently affected ratings of qualifications. These results suggest that interview duration, interview strategy, and applicants' behavior may have additive effects on perceptions of qualifications.
