Don’t just look at grades and test scores! With Multiple Mini-Interviews (MMIs), you can assess relevant competencies through a series of short, structured interviews.
By having independent interviewers and using a variety of methods and tasks, you gain a balanced overall picture of candidates’ competencies, such as motivation, social skills, and analytical abilities. As a result, the results are fairer and more objective than those from a single long interview or a single perspective.
The MMI is an innovative, flexible, and valid selection process that combines quality, fairness, and a forward-looking approach.
Each interview focuses on clearly defined competencies. Instead of relying on a single, lengthy conversation, gather several independent observations in different situations.
MMIs can be used to assess the competencies relevant to your context, such as motivation, social skills, communication skills, stress management, and analytical skills.
Multiple candidates can participate in different interviews simultaneously. This makes MMIs more efficient and scalable than a traditional assessment center, while still maintaining face-to-face interaction.assessment center, while still maintaining face-to-face interaction.
