Summary

Research into the interview as an instrument of selection is considered and its use in relation to selection for social work training examined. An account is given of a research project undertaken to compare selection decisions made on the basis of written applications with those reached after additional interviews. It was found that in the majority of cases the additional information from interviews did not materially affect the decisions made. The implications of these findings are discussed
