The Competencies

Thirty-five competencies with definitions and behaviors, described in levels by job role (professional/specialist > supervisor/manager > director/executive) and levels of proficiency (basic > proficient > advanced).

Examples: Seven Competencies

Competency Interview Guides

Competency Interview Guides provide an easy-to-follow format for structured, behavioral-based interviews. Each Guide, with specific questions related to the competency, makes it easy for the hiring manager or interviewer to collect behavioral examples about a candidate’s relevant work experiences and accomplishments.

The Guides provide:

  • Specific questions and probes for each competency,
  • Specific, high-quality behavioral data describing what superior performers do to achieve superior results,
  • Surfacing of non-obvious effective behaviors that job incumbents and their bosses may be unaware of or unable to articulate,
  • Strong evidence for a competency model’s validity – evidence that is especially important if the model will be used for external selection.

An intellectual property license permits organizations to:

  • Personalize and customize interviewing content
  • Enhance their interviewing application by adding unique criteria
  • Reorganize interviewing guide templates

Example: Competency Interview Guide for Strategic Thinking
