    Adding more to the article, according to Walsh (2019), when interviewing candidates interviewer might stereotype based on appearance, background, or individual conditions and also if they depend on first impressions including the greeting, the handshake, or the candidate’s dress interviewing errors will occur and they will give adverse impacts on good recruitments. Perfect interviewers should seek out both positive and negative facts from the applicant and wait until the interview is over before moving to conclusions.
    Article is well written and worth to read.

    Preparing yourself with a script for interviewing will help to ensure you hire the right candidate. A poor quality hire costs the company in a lot of ways, from training to lost productivity. It’s worth taking the time to think about the interview and do it properly, so you can make the right hire the first time.

    While the author very aptly discusses the negative impacts the interviewers can have on the recruitment a small focus could have been given to the positive impact an interviewer can bring in to the interview. Understanding the hiring need, making a conversation, asking the right questions, ability to read body language, being kind and fair and providing closure are some positive characteristics of an interviewer which can attract the best talent to a company.
