Both are effective depends on the position that the incumbent will hold. In our company, Panel interview usually is conducted if you are working on a technical and management level positions. It is done to make sure that they will gonna hire a suitable one.

For the employer it is better, because you get questions with all kind of input. I like it because you can answer all different questions. Some people are intimidated by a panel, that can scare people of, but depending on the position you want you cannot be scared of!

One on one most effective. However it only works if interviewer is right person.

Panel interviews are highly time-efficient as they allow all decision-makers involved to assess a prospective candidate simultaneously and come to one final conclusion within a short period of time. Panel interviews allow for a heightened element of behavioral testing and character assessment. The way the prospective candidate/interviewee behaves when faced with a sophisticated array of panel members allows them to determine whether he/she is capable of handling pressure well and of communicating easily across all levels of an organization (after all, these specific panel members, might, eventually become colleagues or managers). Panel interviews allow panel members to better dissect the details of the candidate’s professional experience, skills, behavior, etc… covering all angles that would be vital to the position itself. Panel interviews reassure management (and the candidate himself/ herself) that the end result of the process is quite just, as it involves numerous interviewers who ask questions, analyze, discuss and combine outlooks and feedback to arrive at a concerted final conclusion.
