competency-based recruitment

Competency-based recruitment is a hiring process that focuses on identifying candidates' specific skills, behaviors, and attributes needed for a particular role. Instead of solely considering qualifications or experience, employers ask questions or use assessments to evaluate how well candidates demonstrate relevant competencies, such as teamwork, problem-solving, or communication. This approach helps ensure that the selected individual has the practical abilities and qualities essential for performing the job successfully, leading to better alignment between the candidate’s strengths and the role’s requirements.
