Next time you\u2019re fretting about your qualification or work experience before an interview, just remember that you\u2019re most likely to land the graduate role if you appear to be like your interviewer.<\/p>\n

The report by Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD); Head for Hiring: The Behavioral Science of Recruitment<\/em> primarily looked at the way people make decisions in an interview setting. The research therefore outlines ways in which harnessing knowledge about how people behave can in turn help recruiters and job-seekers.<\/p>\n

While many believe recruiting graduate talent is more of an art than a science, this research would suggest differently.<\/p>\n

Recruiters rely on \u201cgut instinct\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the main things that sways a prospective boss\u2019s mind is how much a candidate looks and acts like them \u2013 meaning they rely on \u201cgut instinct\u201d over facts, which you have little control over.<\/p>\n

In fact, interviewers have a tendency to go for a \u201cmini me\u201d \u2013 someone who dresses the same way and even has the same haircut!<\/p>\n

Candidates who had similar hobbies and interests to the interviewer were also more likely to be successful, according to the research.<\/p>\n

However, the research suggested there could be many other barriers between a graduate and a new job too, which is why they are advised to never give up when hunting for their dream role.<\/p>\n

Jonny Gifford, Research Advisor at CIPD, said that interestingly, many recruitment decisions are actually based on gut instinct or what feels \u201cintuitively right\u201d and this can be a problem for graduates and job-seekers.<\/p>\n

While recruiters may like to think they can spot talent a mile off, the research actually highlighted through behavioral science that decision making is highly prone to \u201csloppy thinking\u201d and overall bias, he added.<\/p>\n
