What can human resource management do to reduce some of these problems?

Answer 1

Management does reduce some of these problems by taking following steps:

Prior knowledge about the applicant will bias the interviewer's evaluation.

The interviewer tends to hold a stereotype of what represents a "good" applicant.

The interviewer tends to favor applicants who share his or her own attitudes.

The order in which applicants are interviewed will influence evaluations.

Negative information is given unduly high weight.

The interviewer may make a decision concerning the applicant's suitability within the first four or five minutes.

The interviewer may forget much of the interview's content within minutes after its conclusion unless he/she take notes.
