Which stage involves assessing a candidate's suitability through interviews?

• A. Interviews
• B. Advertising
• C. Shortlist
• D. Job Description

Answer: (A)

Interviews are the stage where you directly assess a candidate's suitability for the role. After you’ve attracted applicants (advertising) and narrowed them down to a manageable group (shortlisting), the interview lets you evaluate not just what they’ve done on paper, but how they think, communicate, and fit with the team and company culture. You can ask questions about past experiences, work-style, and how they’d handle real situations, which helps determine if they have the right skills, motivation, and attitude for the job. The job description outlines what the role requires, and the interviews test whether the candidate can meet those requirements in practice.
