A jury consists of at least two people. Research has revealed that interviews conducted by a jury are more valid than those made by a single interviewer or a single interviewee. A jury may reduce the incidence of personal bias on the selection of applicants. In addition, a panel of several people can capture information that one individual could miss or neglect, thus making a more balanced and comprehensive applicants.
An effort should be made to form a jury that reflects the diversity of applicant pool. This diversity can make applicants feel more comfortable during the interview and more willing to accept the outcome. Research has shown that having recourse to a jury diverse promotes the reduction or elimination of bias due to race and the similarity of attitudes among the interviewees and those responsible for the interview. The Objective Eye is a resource to consult relevant because it allows managers and members of designated groups to come together to discuss the possibility of participating in evaluation committees.
Whenever possible, it is important that the same jury members are interviewing all applicants of the same appointment process to increase the uniformity and standardization of the assessment.
People who could serve on the jury are:
1. the immediate supervisor or the immediate supervisor on position since he or she is probably the person most familiar with the duties and responsibilities of the position;
2. the director or the director of the Division;
3. a representative or a representative of Human Resources;
4. a potential friend or colleague potential.
