Correct Answer: Subjectivity and bias
 


Solution : The correct answer is (a) Subjectivity and bias.

One of the disadvantages of using only interviews as a selection tool is the potential for subjectivity and bias. Interviews are conducted by human assessors who can be influenced by their personal biases, preferences, and subjective judgments. This can lead to inconsistent evaluations and decisions based on factors unrelated to the candidate's actual qualifications and skills. Without a structured and standardized approach, there is a higher risk of bias creeping into the selection process, potentially leading to unfair treatment of candidates and compromised objectivity.
