Competency-Based Interviews

To be of any use, an interview needs to be properly structured and interviewers should be thoroughly trained. It can then be used effectively either as part of the screening process, assessment centre or combined with psychometric assessments.

Human Assets design the interview around your criteria for success (or Indicators of Excellence) and provide interviewers with guide questions for each area. We advocate a semi-structured approach, based on your Indicators of Excellence, but providing the interviewer with a degree of flexibility to gather the maximum amount of evidence. We offer practical interview training which addresses good practice and diversity issues, and gives interviewers ample opportunity to practise their skills.

The competency-based interview is objective and systematic, and the semi-structured approach enables interviewers to use it in a dynamic way.
