In this type of interviews, groups rather than individuals are interviewed. A problem for discussion is given to a group of candidates and interviewees are asked to reach a specific decision within a particular time limit. Interviewers watch the activities of the interviewees—those who take a lead in the discussion, those who try influencing others, those who summarise and clarify issues, and those who speak effectively.
