Types of job interviews and their classification basis

The types of job interviews include preliminary examination, re-examination, skills assessment interview, etc. The classification is mainly based on the purpose, form, method and content of the interview.

The first is the preliminary interview, which is generally used to screen and initially understand the applicant's ability, background, situation, strengths and weaknesses. There are two forms of preliminary examination: company interview and school recruitment interview. It is mainly conducted by individuals introducing themselves to the interviewer, and interacting with questions and answers.

The second is the re-examination, which is mainly for candidates who have entered the next round of interviews after being sorted through the preliminary examination. Compared with the initial test, the re-examination pays more attention to the applicant's personalized performance, professional level, communication skills and practical operation ability. Common re-examination forms include group interviews, group discussions, simulated sales, etc.

It is used to reflect the skill level of applicants and is a common recruitment link when applying for technical positions. This type of interview mainly tests the applicant's practical ability, usually through assessment projects, such as coding, debugging, demonstration, etc. The interview takes a long time and may be conducted at the company's specific venues and facilities.

Finally, there are other types of interviews, such as teamwork interviews, case analysis interviews, etc. These interview types and methods are designed to examine the candidate's quality, strength and potential in all aspects.

In addition to the above types, there are also some common interview forms:

Video interview: As remote work gradually attracts attention, many companies have begun to use video interviews to facilitate interviews in different regions. Candidates attend interviews. This interview method requires candidates to have good video communication equipment and software.

Inspection day: This interview method may include multiple links, such as job understanding, department visits, simulated tasks, communication and interaction, etc. It usually requires a whole day to be arranged. The purpose of the inspection day is to allow candidates to have a deeper understanding of the company culture and team atmosphere, while also providing the company with more perspectives and experiences for evaluating talents.

Self-introduction interview: This interview method not only requires candidates to briefly introduce their personal background and work experience, but also needs to demonstrate their strengths and characteristics. This type of interview mainly examines the applicant's expressiveness, language skills and personal charm.
