title: Employment selection in health care: the case for structured interviewing.
abstract: The literature related to selection interviewing dates, at least, to 1915. The focus of that literature and the conclusions represented by the various authors assumed that the employment selection interview had limited validity or predictive value until the late 1980s. Papers appearing since contradict those conclusions. This article proposes that the selection interview can be a valid portion of the hiring process to the degree that each is highly structured.
