A tandem interview involves:

• A. Two interviewers per candidate
• B. Two groups of interviewers
• C. One interviewer per candidate
• D. Three interviewers per candidate

Answer: (A)

A tandem interview means two interviewers interview the candidate together. This setup brings two perspectives into the discussion, so questions can cover a broader range of topics and impressions can be compared in real time, helping to form a more balanced assessment. One interviewer leading with questions while the other observes and contributes or notes ensures a fairer evaluation and reduces individual bias. It isn’t about two groups, a single interviewer, or three interviewers; it’s specifically two interviewers working in tandem with the candidate.
