Interviews, Multiple Mini-Interviews, and Selection Centers

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Selection and Recruitment in the Healthcare Professions

Abstract

In this chapter, the authors give an overview of interviews, multiple mini-interviews (MMI) and selection centres (SC) in a healthcare context. In a short introduction, they summarize key characteristics of these selection methods and highlight conceptual overlaps. Focusing on the question which underlying variables and processes determine the generation of performance scores, the authors point to different theoretical developments and consider three aspects: candidate, situation, and interviewer/assessor. The following section on relevant research findings concentrates on MMIs and provides a case study on the relationship of MMI components with a Situational Judgment Test (SJT) at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf. The chapter closes with an outlook on technological advances that might transform the way interviews, MMIs, and SCs will be conducted in the future.
