Competency Based Interviewing and Selection

In today’s competitive environment, organizations are facing the challenges of selecting the right candidates who are best fit to their organization and to the jobs. Selection of wrong candidates can weaken the overall operations of an organization and may reduce productivity and efficiency. It also influences the morale of employees and the overall repute of the organization.

Recruitment and selection of the right talent is one of the most important and challenging processes that take place in an organization. In the competitive world, traditional interviewing techniques are no longer sufficient. Organizations need to adopt a more cutting edge approach which is successfully used by world leading ‘Fortune 500’ companies to attract, select and recruit talent.

Competency Based Interviewing (CBI) is one of the recruitment processes which is widely used by organizations in order to hire the right talent for the jobs. In this technique, candidates are asked to demonstrate the specific core skills and competencies needed for a particular job. CBI helps the organizations in identification of the best fit candidate and therefore, increases the chances of informed hiring decisions.
