Competency-Based Interviewing Skills


The most common reason associated with a bad hire is rushing the decision process. Two-in-five hiring managers attributed a bad hire to pressure to fill the job opening. Without talent, an organization can’t transform and without transformation, an organization can’t grow. Hiring the right people in today’s complex business world is greatly enhanced when companies break with traditional hiring practices and transform to competency-based selection. There’s nothing more crucial to the success of an organization than bringing the right people on board, getting them into their right seats and encouraging their growth. This one day skill seminar illustrations on how to develop a competence-based interviewing skill and techniques.
