Competency Based Interviewing

Competency-based interviewing provides a best-practice recruitment approach that:

  • Is fair to all candidates
  • Probes candidates' experience for evidence of past behaviours most likely to predict future performance
  • Increases the probability of making good recruitment decisions.
