Unstructured Interview

An unstructured interview is a flexible and informal conversation between an interviewer and a candidate, where there are no fixed questions or set order. Instead, the interviewer asks different questions based on the candidate's responses, allowing for a more natural dialogue. This approach helps to understand the person's personality, problem-solving skills, and how they think on their feet. It’s often used in situations like hiring or counseling where understanding the individual’s unique qualities is important. While it offers insight, it can be less consistent than structured interviews and may require more skill from the interviewer to ensure fairness.
