Dipboye's model of interviewer decision making implies which of the following? a. The interviewer controls what information is processed and how that information is processed during the interview. b. Pre-interview data are postulated to be incorrect and always detrimental to the evaluation of a candidate. c. The interviewer does not begin the interview in a neutral state, reacting only to information presented and the behavior of the applicant in the interview. d. The interviewer begins each interview in a neutral state, reacting only to information presented and the behavior of the applicant in the interview.

The interviewer does not begin the interview in a neutral state, reacting only to information presented and the behavior of the applicant in the interview.

Explanation:

Robert Dipboye postulated that an interviewer should use both structured and unstructured interview method when interacting with a potential employee.

This aims to look beyond the job description and to get a better candidate as a fit for the role.

Structured interview uses a standard set of questions to evaluate a candidate, while unstructured interview allows the interviewer to ask questions aimed at getting information in regards to a skill or trait.

Using this method, the interviewer does not begin in a neutral state. But rather his reaction is based on the information presented by the candidate and his behaviour.
