EXAMINATION OF THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ONLINE AND FACE-TO-FACE INTERVIEWS DURING A RECRUITMENT PROCESS IN TERMS OF CANDIDATES’ SELF-EFFICACY LEVELS

Abstract

In today’s work conditions, time constraints and physical boundaries make it difficult to use face-to-face interviews during the recruitment process. Online interviews give the chance to cope with time and place limitations, but the interaction between the candidate and the interviewer is different than the case of sharing the same place. The aim of this study is to examine the differences between self-efficacy levels of participants, depending on their preferences about the type of recruitment interview. The results of the study showed that the participants preferring an online interview have significantly higher self-efficacy levels than participants preferring a face-to-face interview. In terms of gender, women preferring online interview have higher self-efficacy levels than men with the same preference. They also have higher self-efficacy than women and men preferring face-to-face interview. Findings regarding the differences in preference of the type of recruitment interview are discussed.
