Introduction
Competency based interviews are based on the premise that past behaviour is the best predictor of future behaviour. Competency based interviews are structured, with questions that relate directly to the essential criteria required for the post.
The Competency framework becomes the baseline from sourcing to resume analyses to conducting competency based interviewing to hiring decisions and job offer.
The workshop practices the participants to use Competency-based probing questions within the interview structure. It is an application component that will make your hiring or promotion decisions based on previous accomplishments instead on gut feelings or personal preferences.
It is also useful when selecting “early promises” who can be considered for higher positions in the future.
