HOW HR’S CAN MASTER COMPETENCY BASED INTERVIEWS?

•

Competency based interview is designed to test the caliber of a candidate for handling the job and specific situations. Generally these interviews include questions that can demonstrate the skills of employees, companies are looking for.

•

For example, HR’s may ask candidates to discuss the project, which they have succeeded or even failed. Answering these questions will help the interviewer to get an idea if a candidate can really fit in the role.

A. Purpose • Generally when an organisation asks competency-based questions, they are looking for the candidates who can deal the challenges of the job. At the same time they will also check how the candidate will behave with the other members of the team, how they use their skills and experience effectively.

B. Preparation • The best way to prepare the competency-based interview is to reread the job description, job requirement and to know exactly what the organization is looking for in the new employee. The output of the interview should be an accurate idea whether the candidate possesses those qualities or not. HR’s can do a little scribbling of their own set of questions & answers to make a benchmark.

C. The STAR approach • The best way to approach the competency-based interview is STAR approach – Situation, Task, Action, Result Situation followed by Task • Generally HR’s can give a situation, which can be related to a current project or team behaviour or any hypothetical situation. The information given should be clear and useful to the story. Finally assign some tasks to the candidates to accomplish the final outcome.
