N2 - Although interviews arc used widely in the selection of suitable job applicants, recruiters may unconsciously be operating from culturally biased frameworks.

Effective techniques, which include establishing rapport with the candidate, building a relationship, and choosing appropriate interview styles, are provided for practitioners.
