What is the "three-thirds system" tactics of the interview?

In many interviews, we can see such a scene: there is a long table in an empty and bright room. Generally, there are three interviewers in suits and ties sitting on a long table, with the main interviewer sitting in the middle and assistant interviewers on both sides. On the other side of the long table, there is a chair for job seekers. When the job seeker enters the room, he will sit in this chair and be examined by three interviewers.

This interview strategy is called "three-thirds system" tactics. The "three-thirds system" tactic is an infantry assault tactic, which is characterized by being divided into three combat groups by the squad leader, the vice squad leader and the captain. The three groups cooperate with each other to form a triangle attack formation. This has two advantages: first, it avoids mass casualties caused by concentration of personnel; Is to advance together and attack more efficiently.

In the interview work, such a "three-thirds system" strategy is also applied in many places. For example, there are three interviewers in an interview; The number of interviews for a job seeker should be controlled within three times; Investigate three job seekers at the same time in an interview and choose the best one; The written test sets three types of questions; The "three lots" system is implemented in the interview, and the interviewers are randomly determined; Wait a minute. People choose group interviews because they want to ensure fairness, justice and openness, and avoid the phenomenon of "centralized" and favoritism, and the "three-thirds system" tactic is an effective means to ensure group interviews.

The number of interviews should not exceed "three". Why do people like to use "three-thirds system" tactics instead of "four-four system" and "five-five system" in interviews? In fact, the reason is very simple, people prefer simplicity, and dividing one thing into three steps is the most concise and efficient way. For example, when writing an article, people like to divide paragraphs according to the three stages of "beginning, passing and ending", the important things should be said three times, the most stable structure is a triangle and so on.

Therefore, in the interview process, people also try to control it as a "three-thirds system", arrange an interview for one person, and will be assessed according to the process of "initial test-second test". If the assessment is all qualified, an offer will be given and the position will be formally recruited. Too many interviews will increase the workload of the interviewer and waste a lot of time; On the other hand, it will also add unnecessary psychological pressure to the interviewer. The interviewer may feel unwelcome and apply for other companies, so that the company will lose a talent for nothing.
