The aim of interviewing is to fill vacancies with suitable people, and Hazel Conway points out that if all interviewers were skilled, far fewer people would be given jobs they cannot do, and then leave soon afterwards. It is generally recognised that the cost of recruiting a replacement can equal an annual salary, but it is a weakness of Conway's book that it does not deal with the costs that ineffective interviewing techniques can lead to. Conway claims that the traditional 'question and answer' interview between two people depends too much on whether the interviewer likes the candidate, and not enough on whether he or she has the skills necessary for the job. Interviewing Skills usefully covers everything an employer needs to know about preparing for and holding interviews, such as researching the applicant's work experience. Surprisingly, Conway differs from many writers in considering that applicants' personal interests should play no part in decisions concerning appointments. Many might also disagree with the book's ideas on how to reject unsuccessful candidates. While Interviewing Skills would be helpful for someone about to interview job applicants for the first time, it has little to offer anyone experienced in the activity.
