Competency-Based Hiring

Competency-Based Hiring is a recruitment approach that focuses on identifying candidates' specific skills, behaviors, and experiences that are essential for success in a particular role. Instead of relying solely on credentials or past job titles, employers ask targeted questions and use assessments to evaluate how candidates have demonstrated relevant competencies in real-life situations. This method helps ensure that applicants possess not just technical qualifications, but also the necessary soft skills and abilities to thrive in the workplace, ultimately leading to better job fit and performance.
