Sequential Interview and Panel Interview In sequential interview, also known as one-to one interview, there are different interviewers but each interviewer interviews every candidate separately on one-to-one basis. Generally, each interviewer probes a specific quality or specific set of qualities. For example, one interviewer may be assigned the task of probing technical qualities of the candidate, another motivational qualities, next interpersonal qualities, and so on. I this type of interview, a candidate feels lesser pressure on him in discussing about his qualities more fruitfully. Sometimes, it also happens in this type of interview that the same question is asked to the candidate for cross checking to ascertain whether the candidate holds a particular viewpoint firmly or not. |

In such a situation, it is absolutely essential for the candidate that he gives same answer to the same question before every interviewer. After an interviewer finishes his interview, the candidate proceeds to the next interviewer. In panel interview, there are two or more interviewers who sit together. The actual number of interviewers in a panel interview varies from organizations to organizations depending upon their practices. However, in most of the interview panel, the number of interviewers varies from 3to 6. Generally, each interviewer has specialty in a distinct field and ask specific panel interview questions. For example, in the case of business organization, generally, functional managers of the business functions where vacancies exist (like production, marketing, finance, human resource) along with human resource manager ( if he is not in the capacity functional manager in case vacancy does not exist in human resource department) constitute an interview panel. In some cases, an outside consultant may join the interview panel. Out of the panel members, one person acts as a chairman/chairperson to coordinate the interview process. At the beginning of the interview, the chairman briefly gives information about the candidate to other members of the panel and also seeks the opinion of the candidate about the accuracy of the information mentioned by the chairman. Thereafter, the interview proceeds. Each interviewer asks questions related to his specialty. After the interview is over, either the panel as a whole gives marks to the candidate or each interviewer gives marks separately and average is worked out later. Panel interview is quite popular with most of the organizations.
