Optimising recruitment with competency-based interviewing (CBI)

Decisions based on reliable assessment

Faced with a shortage of talent, organisations need to hire sustainably and choose the person who will best fit the position. The recruitment interview is still often conducted as an open conversation without preparation. Elements such as sympathy or first impressions take precedence over the evaluation of the candidate’s skills.

The competency-based interview combines friendliness and method to significantly increase the validity of the recruitment process. It can be easily applied to reliably assess the candidate’s skills, motivation, and fit with the company’s culture.

I Increase the validity of a recruitment interview.
