Group Interviews- multiple candidates are being interviewed at
the same time and is often used if the company is hiring for
more than one position
Panel Interviews- you will be interviewed by multiple interviewers from the
same organisation and/or an external company. The goal of this type of
interview is to minimise the risk of a bad hire.
Video Interviews- these interviews are conducted when the
applicant and interviewer are separated by distance
