Companies would like to avoid a bad risk so they have to go with the interviews so all the risk they will ever take will be good ones.

Companies want employees that will take least investment to move that employee into a prolific rank. The questions asked in the interviews are usually questions that will classify the right employees that the company can trust their future as soon as possible and the least costly, since the company still has to have the new employees get into trainings and the like. So as you can see, the interview is not some kind of formality thing, it is a very important element in the hiring process.

Using guided interview questions is important to gauge behavior. Some recommendations on the design of interview questions:

Use open-ended questions – these begin with modifiers such as what, where, when, why and how and opens the floor for an in-depth and inspired answer. This can prevent monosyllabic answers and you will be able to obtain the information needed.
Avoid leading questions – the question should not lead the applicant to agree or disagree with your statement. Answers to questions must reflect the applicant’s values.
Don’t ask the obvious – this is also a leading question, and the applicant can give you a rehearsed answer.
