Dear Friends,
Is it wrong to be straightforward in an interview? (Assume that I am an interviewer) If so, on what grounds?
Also, is it necessary to be more people-friendly when you are conducting an interview?
I would request our fellow members to give their valuable inputs. If I am wrong, I am ready to accept my fault and change myself accordingly. Please educate.

Hi Friend,
Have a great day. You have not clearly mentioned your problem. Coming to your point, some people will be straightforward and they will not give any preferences to anyone, and there will be a right choice. But in some cases, the people who are straightforward will always expect the opponent, which means the candidate, to be on the same wavelength and attitude. If it matches, only then will they consider that candidate. Of course, attitude is an essential criterion for an employee, but we have to check their ability and efficiency. That can be checked when you are slightly friendly with them. If you are a little friendly, talent acquisition will be an easy job, and you can identify the right person for the right job.

Hi Gayathry,
Thank you for your inputs. Assume that management asked for views on the HR interview process from employees, in which they received a response, "If I was interviewed by him/her, then I wouldn't be in this job." My question is, how can they judge him/her based on limited responses? Also, if a candidate is potentially good enough, why would they need to fear? I was sitting on the panel and observed how he/she interviewed the candidate. From an HR perspective, I don't find any faults in it. This is the situation; kindly review this and respond back.

To score well in an interview, a candidate has to intelligently answer each question in such a manner that the next question is of his/her own choice. Be straightforward (or truthful) in your replies, but leave a small gap in your answer which steers the mind of the interviewer to ask the next question pertaining to the gap deliberately left by you. Your confidence increases as the interview proceeds and this technique of steering the interview in the direction that you want often leads to success.

Dear Neeraj,
Thank you so much for your interest. Let me give the exact detail. Company's management asked for views on the HR interview process from employees, to which they received a response: "If I (employee) was interviewed by her, then I would not be in a position to answer the questions that were asked of me." My question is, how could they judge her based on limited responses? Also, if a candidate is potentially good enough, why would the candidate have a phobia about her? I was sitting on the panel and observed how she interviewed the candidate. From an HR perspective, I don't find any faults in it. This is the situation; kindly review this and respond back.
Please confirm if I am clear right now. If you are clear, I request you to post your opinion on the same.

Great, Mr. Kumar.
Thank you so much for your valuable inputs. You exactly portrayed what I meant to say. Thanks much for your understanding and reply. I haven't judged based on the response I get. Also, I never used to ask about the interviewer to candidates, which is highly unethical. Management asked for opinions from all those who got selected. I posted this because I just wanted to know if it is right to check if an interviewer is right at the time of the interview.
Thanks once again.

Dear Citizen1502,
I'd love to add some perspective from my experience both as an interviewer/interviewee and as a trainer of effective interview techniques. However, I have read and reread your comments, and I find it very hard to understand (despite the brave attempt from Loginmiraclelogistics to decipher your meaning) exactly what happened and what the issue is. Perhaps some remedial training in written communication might help... Good luck.
