Competency-Based Interview

In a competency-based interview, HR professionals ask questions to determine how you handled various aspects of your previous or current job. This helps them identify and hire qualified, highly trained, skillful and experienced talent.

Competencymapping

Companies study how their best employees perform. Firms learn about the staff's key attributes such as knowledge, skills, and behaviors that are required to perform well in each role. They also identify the competencies needed to perform those roles successfully (e.g., technical, managerial, and behavioral competencies). Beyond that, firms analyze an individual's SWOT.
