Morphology
The meaning 'a formal meeting to evaluate a job applicant' is directly and compositionally derived from 'employment' (relating to jobs/hiring) plus 'interview' (a meeting to gather information). This straightforward noun-noun compound follows common cross-linguistic patterns and would be clear to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Employment interview combines employment ('work') and interview (from old words meaning 'to see each other'), so it creates the simple picture of two people meeting. That's why an employment interview is a formal face to face meeting where an employer checks if someone is the right fit for a job.
