How much of a duration gap is there between your interviews for entry-level jobs vs senior-level jobs? My manager thinks I'm spending too long with entry-level candidates (too long being 30 minutes). How is one supposed to gauge anything about anyone in less time than that? Curious to know how others are doing it, and if I should maybe change how I am interacting with my candidates as of now.

My entry-level interviews typically last 20-30 minutes, and senior-level interviews often run 45-60 minutes or more to assess deeper experience and leadership. Thirty minutes for entry-level is reasonable if structured well. You could consider tightening questions to stay efficient but still get meaningful insights.

OP what's your role in the overall process?

It can depend on the industry and role specifics, sure, but I think a 30-minute interview is a good average. I would be concerned that there’s not enough time to get to know the candidate, but it would also look bad from the candidate's point of view. Depends too on how long they are thinking it should be instead.

15-30 mins seems typical for my company

I haven't been on here for months. Just got caught up in life and this crazy year. I am so glad to see many more of you have joined this group, because I don't know about you, but I am surrounded by people at work who think the opposite of the way I do. And right now, there is so much going on that I am terribly upset about and cannot talk about it at work unless I seek out the few who are conservative and have my values. Glad we have found each other here!
