Competency-Based Interviews
Competency-Based Interviews (CBIs) are a type of job interview that focuses on assessing a candidate's skills and abilities through specific examples from their past experiences. Interviewers ask questions that require candidates to demonstrate how they have handled various situations, emphasizing competencies such as teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership. This method helps employers predict future performance based on past behavior.
In a CBI, candidates might be asked to describe a time when they faced a challenge or worked in a team. The goal is to evaluate their competencies in real-life scenarios, making it easier for employers to identify the best fit for the role and the organization.
