Yes — structured interviews are among the most valid predictors of future job performance. Schmidt and Hunter’s (1998, Psychological Bulletin) synthesis of 85 years of research placed structured interviews at the top of the validity hierarchy (around r = .51), and a major re-analysis by Sackett, Zhang, Berry and Lievens (2022, Journal of Applied Psychology) — which corrected long-standing statistical over-corrections — left structured interviews as the strongest single predictor of job performance, ahead of cognitive-ability tests on the revised estimates. „Structured“ means the same job-relevant questions for every candidate, scored against defined anchors — a simple change most employers still don’t make.
