Directive Interview and Non Directive Interview In directive interview, also known as patterned interview, questions are framed in advance of the commencement of the interview. The interviewers are expected to ask the questions from these patterned questions. Directive interview aims at comparing various candidates by putting the similar type of questions to each candidate. The basic assumption behind directive interviews is that if similar type of questions is asked to every candidate, its result is much more fair to make comparison among the candidates than by putting different set of questions to each candidate. Sometimes, directive interviewing is adopted if the number of interview panel is more than one. This is done to bring uniformity in the evaluation process of different panels. |

In non directive interview, there are no pre-determined questions or even pattern of interview process. Questions emerge out of the interaction between the interviewer and the candidate. This type of interview becomes more like an informal talk. Even the candidate is allowed to ask questions about the various aspects of the organization concerned. Since the candidate feels more at ease, he can give full information about himself more elaborately which helps the interviewer to evaluate a candidate in a more comprehensive way. Generally, for selecting candidates for comparatively higher positions, non-directive interview is followed. However, many organizations follow this type of interview to select fresher too.
