What is Unstructured Interview?

A free-form interview without predetermined questions, relying on conversation flow and interviewer judgment to evaluate candidates.

Why it matters in hiring

Unstructured Interview comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
