Competency and Job Description
• Job description looks at what, whereas competency model
focuses on how.
• Traditional job description analysis looks at elements of the
jobs and defines the job into sequences of tasks necessary
to perform the job
• Competency studies the people who do the job well, and
defines the job in terms of the characteristics and
behaviors of these people.

9. 9www.exploreHR.org
Types of Competency
Managerial competency (soft competency)
This type of competency relates to the ability to manage job and
develop an interaction with other persons. For example : problem
solving, leadership, communication, etc.
Functional competency (hard competency)
This type of competency relates to the functional capacity of work.
It mainly deals with the technical aspect of the job. For example :
market research, financial analysis, electrical engineering, etc.

Examples of Competency
DEFINITION
• Adaptability—Maintaining effectiveness when priorities change and new
tasks are encountered, and when dealing with individuals who have different
views and approaches. Effectively performing in different environments,
cultures, and locations, and when working with different technologies and
levels of individuals.
KEY BEHAVIOR
• Seeking understanding—Makes efforts to better understand changes in
the environment; actively seeks
• information or attempts to understand nature of individual differences, logic,
or basis for change in tasks and situations.
• Embracing change—Approaches change or newness with a positive
orientation; views change or newness as a learning or growth opportunity.
• Making accommodations—Makes accommodations in approach, attitudes,
or behaviors in response to changing environmental requirements.

12. 12www.exploreHR.org
Examples of Competency
DEFINITION
Analysis/Problem Assessment—Securing relevant information and identifying key
issues and relationships from a base of information; relating and comparing data
from different sources; identifying cause-effect relationships.
KEY BEHAVIOR
• Identifying issues and problems—Recognizing major issues; identifying key facts,
trends, and issues; separating relevant from irrelevant data.
• Seeking information—Identifying/Recognizing information gaps or the need for
additional information; obtaining information by clearly describing what needs to be
known and the means to obtain it; questioning clearly and specifically to verify facts and
obtain the necessary information.
• Seeing relationships—Organizing information and data to identify/explain trends,
problems, and their causes; comparing, contrasting, and combining information; seeing
associations between seemingly independent problems or events to recognize trends,
problems, and possible cause-effect relationships.
• Performing data analysis—Organizing and manipulating quantitative data to
identify/explain trends, problems, and their causes.

Benefits of Using Competency Model
For Managers, the benefits are:
• Identify performance criteria to improve the accuracy and ease
of the hiring and selection process.
• Clarify standards of excellence for easier communication of
performance expectations to direct reports.
• Provide a clear foundation for dialogue to occur between the
manager and employee about performance, development, and
career-related issues.

14. 14www.exploreHR.org
Benefits of Using Competency Model
For Employees, the benefits are:
• Identify the success criteria (i.e., behavioral standards of
performance excellence) required to be successful in their role.
• Support a more specific and objective assessment of their
strengths and specify targeted areas for professional
development.
• Provide development tools and methods for enhancing their
skills.

15. 15www.exploreHR.org
1. Alignment: Competencies impact systems that actively support
the organization’s vision, strategy, and key capabilities.
2. Integration: Competency initiatives that produce the most
significant change are applied systemically across a range of HR
development processes.
3. Distribution: Competency standards alone produce little effect.
They must be actively and relentlessly communicated and
installed with users.
Key Characteristics of Successful
Implementation

16. 16www.exploreHR.org
4. Self-Directed Application: Competency systems frequently fail
because they are too complex or require an unsustainable level of
sponsorship or program support. Implementations that work best
focus on the development of “tools” that can produce results for
users with relatively little ongoing support.
5. Acculturation: In competency systems that work, they become
part of the culture and the mindset of leaders through repeated
application and refinement over a significant period of time.

Implementation

Competency-based
Interview for Selection

18. 18www.exploreHR.org
Types of Interview
• Conventional Interview
• Competency-based Interview

19. 19www.exploreHR.org
Conventional Interview
• Unstructured :
• Is a type of interview where the questions are not
designed systematically and not properly structured.
• There is no standard format to follow, therefore the
process of interviewing can go in any direction.
• Is seldom equipped with formal guidelines regarding
the system of rating/scoring the interview.

20. 20www.exploreHR.org
• Has low reliability and validity – there is no accuracy
in predicting performance
• Susceptible to bias and subjectivity (gut feeling)
Conventional Interview

21. 21www.exploreHR.org
Competency-based Interview (CBI)
• Is a structured type of interview. The questions are focused
on disclosing examples of behavior in the past.
• The process of interview is intended to disclose
specifically and in detail examples of behavior in the past.
• Is designed based on the principle : past behavior predicts
future behavior (Candidates are most likely to repeat these
behaviors in similar situations in the future).

22. 22www.exploreHR.org
• Has a high level of validity and reliability.
• Equipped with a standard scoring system which
refers to behavior indicators

Organizing that must be tackled at the same time. Can you tell
me about one or two actual cases where you had
to face such a situation? What did you do? What
was the consequence?

Bias in the Interview Process
First
Impressions
An interviewer might make a snap judgement
about someone based on their first impression
- positive or negative - that clouds the entire
interview.
For example, letting the fact that the candidate
is wearing out-of-the-ordinary clothing or has a
heavy regional accent take precedence over
the applicant's knowledge, skills, or abilities.

30. 30www.exploreHR.org
Bias in the Interview Process
Halo
Effect
The "halo" effect occurs when an interviewer
allows one strong point about the candidate to
overshadow or have an effect on everything
else.
For instance, knowing someone went to a
particular university might be looked upon
favorably. Everything the applicant says during
the interview is seen in this light.

31. 31www.exploreHR.org
Bias in the Interview Process
Contrast
Effect
Strong(er) candidates who interview after
weak(er) ones may appear more qualified than
they are because of the contrast between the
two.
Note taking during the interview and a
reasonable period of time between interviews
may alleviate this.

Assessing Competency through
Assessment Center
Assessment Center Characteristics:
• A standardized evaluation of behavior based on multiple inputs.
• Multiple trained observers and techniques are used.
• Judgments about behaviors are made, in major part, from
specifically developed assessment simulations.
• These judgments are pooled in a meeting among the assessors
or by a statistical integration process

49. 49www.exploreHR.org
Types of Test in Assessment Center
• In-trays or in-baskets involve working from the
contents of a manager’s in-tray, which typically
consists of letters, memos and background
information. You may be asked to deal with
paperwork and make decisions, balancing the
volume of work against a tight schedule.
In-Basket
Exercise
• In a role play, you are given a particular role to
assume for a certain task. The task will involve
dealing with a role player in a certain way, and
there will be an assessor watching the role play.
Role
Simulation

50. 50www.exploreHR.org
• In a fact-finding exercise, you may be asked to
reach a decision starting from only partial
knowledge. Your task is to decide what additional
information you need to make the decision, and
sometimes also to question the assessor to obtain
this information.
Fact-Finding
Exercise
Types of Test in Assessment Center
• You may be required to make a formal presentation to
a number of assessors. In some cases this will mean
preparing a presentation in advance on a given topic.
In other cases, you may be asked to interpret and
analyse given information, and present a case to
support a decision.
Presentation

51. 51www.exploreHR.org
Types of Test in Assessment Center
• Group exercises are timed discussions, where a
group of participants work together to tackle a
work-related problem. Sometimes you are given a
particular role within a team, for example sales
manager or personnel manager. Other times there
will be no roles allocated. You are observed by
assessors, who are not looking for right or wrong
answers, but for how you interact with your
colleagues in the team.
