Competency Based Interview – From specification through to induction – learn how to design and use skills.
Reduce staff turnover and select high performers for your team. Using the Competency Based Interviewing technique within your selection interviews will help you identify those that will perform well within your organization.
The goal of any selection interview is to learn enough about a candidate to be able to predict future-on-the-job performance and behavior. That information can then be used to make an informed hiring decision or recommendation.
All great business leaders agree on one thing – that an organization’s greatest asset is its people. Most leaders take a very unscientific approach to talent acquisition. This course will explore how you can make the risk out of hiring, by adopting the idea that past behavior is a brilliant indicator of future performance.
Too often organizations hire incorrectly. They base their hiring upon trying to employ a mirror image of the previous incumbent or on a job description that is out of date or hopelessly ineffective. Active recruitment begins by identifying the qualities of individuals most likely to succeed in the organization and by defining the results that you require from the role. Attitudes and behaviors are critical.
Competency-based recruitment provides a roadmap and a clear guide to finding the right candidates for your roles. Used by some of the world’s most significant organizations, competency-based recruitment will revolutionize the way you hire.
The competency-based behavioral interviewing training uses “competencies” to describe behavioral qualities.
Examples include analytical, problem solver, team player and customer-oriented. Behavioral competencies should be used to describe job requirements (“must be articulate, adaptable, committed,” and so on) before the interview as well as to evaluate candidates after an interview.
When competency-based behavioral interviewing training forms the framework for the entire hiring system, interviewers can make much more effective hiring decisions.
