Competency-based interviews

Competency-based interviews are a interviewing method that focuses on assessing candidates' skills and behaviors based on their past experiences. Interviewers ask questions that require applicants to provide specific examples of how they've handled situations related to key competencies, such as teamwork, problem-solving, or leadership. The goal is to evaluate how well candidates demonstrate these competencies, as past behavior is considered a good predictor of future performance. This approach helps employers identify individuals who have the right skills and attitudes for the job.
