A candidate assessment—the end target—can be accomplished if the interview is systematically recorded. The value of recording the interview can never be ignored. Through a series of questions, a recruiter tries to create a holistic image of the person interviewed—both as a person and a professional. The recruiter tries to figure out a person's cultural background; their social and ethical attributes. Furthermore, they inspect things such as teamwork, situation-handling, and decision-making capability. This holistic overview can be divided into smaller components on which the recruiter can form judgments.
This consists of the evaluation of the academic achievements of the interviewee by cross-questioning them about their qualifications, their level of interest in particular relevant subjects, and the theoretical foundation of those subjects.
