We work with companies to create competency-based
selection processes to facilitate matching job requirements
and individual competencies. The required competencies
for the job openings are used for selection criteria.
Interviews and any other selection tools used are based on
the competencies.
Candidates for the job opening are evaluated on each competency.
The candidates with the highest competency scores are selected.
Competency-Based Selection Solves the
Following Business Problems:
- Poor performance or productivity is reduced as employees
must have the competencies required for the position.
- The selection of employees that are more closely matched
to potential jobs and enjoy their work more. New hires
with the necessary competencies demonstrate full productivity
faster.
- Termination rates should decrease and retention rates
will increase as a result of the competency foundation.
Competency-Based Selection Systems
Have Many Benefits:
- Organizations that use competency selection systems typically
have higher levels of employee performance and retention.
Candidates understand what will be expected of them on the
job.
- There will be more effective resource utilization for
hiring and developing people.
- Competency-based interviews ensure that all interviewers
focus on the critical job-related factors in determining
if a candidate is a good match for the job. Candidates
are compared on the same criteria to enhance the selection
process.
Several tools can be customized to enhance the selection
process. One tool is the creation of an Interview Guide
that contains customized questions for each competency.
Each question allows for the full range of responses.
Interviewers can optimize their time and efficiency and ensure
consistency in evaluating a variety of candidates.
Interview Guides can consist of the following sections:
- Pre-Interview checklist
- Opening the interview
- Work history
- Competencies
- Behavior-based questions for each competency
- Note-taking area
- Closing the interview
- Summary ratings on competencies
