Competency based Recruitment Process
The Human Resources (HR) function plays a crucial role in identifying, selecting, and recruiting the right candidates for each specific job position within an organisation. Effective recruitment ensures that new hires possess not only the right attitudes and behaviors but also the technical knowledge and skills necessary to perform successfully in their roles.
However, in many organisations, HR departments often receive feedback from functional teams that newly recruited employees are not meeting performance expectations. This gap typically arises because insufficient emphasis is placed on evaluating job-specific technical/functional competencies during the selection process. Instead, greater weight is often given to assessing behavioral attributes, analytical ability, and decision-making skills.
To achieve optimal recruitment outcomes, organisations must adopt a skills-focused recruitment approach that integrates competency-based assessments. This ensures that candidates are evaluated holistically—considering both behavioral and technical competencies—thereby aligning recruitment decisions with the actual requirements of each job role.
