Competency-based recruitment and selection focuses on evaluating candidates based on observable behaviors and traits needed for successful job performance. It uses job profiles and structured interviews to assess skills, knowledge, and suitability. Implementing this approach helped one organization reduce employee turnover from 60% to 15-20%. Benefits include providing a consistent hiring process, predicting future performance, giving candidates clear feedback, and lowering turnover. Competencies can favor diversity and recognize transferable skills. The process involves identifying resources, creating panels of top performers, focusing interviews, developing competency-based questions, and following up with fairness.

4. Leslie Dotson, HR manager for talent and selection at a dental equipment manufacturer explains:
“We find that we tend to lose employees either because of fit or specific behaviors they do on the
job that are inappropriate. If we identify employees in advance for those competencies, we can
reduce the chance of a bad hire and enhance the quality of hire.
In case of Dotson, He looks for people who are very customer-service-oriented as well as
team players.”
