Conduct Structured Behavioral-Event Interviews
Thirty-five competency interview guides provide an easy-to-follow format for structured, behavioral-based interviews. Each guide, with specific questions related to each of the thirty-five competencies in Workitect’s competency dictionary, makes it easy for a hiring manager or interviewer to collect behavioral examples about a candidate’s relevant work experiences and accomplishments.
Competency-Based Interviewing and Selection Increases Diversity
The key to improving diversity and inclusion is to focus more on competencies than on credentials.
