Abstract:	<p>The investigation addressed the problem of improving the criterion-related validity and reliability of the selection interview in the context of a controlled experiment, using unconventional methodology. Interview ratings made by subjects viewing videotaped employment interviews were validated against job performance ratings provided by the interviewees' supervisors. The job relevance of interview questions, the timing of interview ratings, and the type of rating scale used to rate interviewees' answers were found to have a significant impact on the reliability and validity of the interview.</p>
