The Recruiter's Responsibility for Judging People:The Need to Observe Body Movement

Abstract

In some cultures marriages are arranged by proxy, without the couple having met, but it is extremely rare in Western society for a job position to be filled without there having been some form of interview or meeting between the parties concerned. Once people physically come into each others' presence judgement becomes influenced by what is communicated non‐verbally. Those who have responsibility for making recruitments are required to judge people. They must take non‐verbal behaviour into account if they want to be fair, objective and avoid mistakes.
