DEFINITION Analysis/Problem Assessment²Securing 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 problems²Recognizing major issues; identifying key facts, trends, and issues; separating relevant from irrelevant data.

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.
www.exploreHR.org
12
Benefits of Using Competency Model
For Employees, the benefits are: Employees, 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.

13
Key Characteristics of Successful Implementation
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.
www.exploreHR.org
14
Key Characteristics of Successful Implementation
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 ³tools´ 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.

CompetencyCompetency-based Interview for Selection

16
Types of Interview
Conventional Interview
Competency-based Interview
www.exploreHR.org
17
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.
www.exploreHR.org
18
Conventional Interview
Has low reliability and validity ± there is no accuracy in predicting performance Susceptible to bias and subjectivity (gut feeling)
www.exploreHR.org
19
CompetencyCompetency-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).
www.exploreHR.org
20
CompetencyCompetency-based Interview
Has a high level of validity and reliability. Equipped with a standard scoring system which refers to behavior indicators

Approach in Competency-based Interview Competency-
S What was the Situation in which you were
involved?
T What was the Task you needed to accomplish? A What Action(s) did you take? R What Results did you achieve?
www.exploreHR.org 22
Approach in Competency-based Interview CompetencySituation
Can you explain the situation? Where and when did the situation happen? What events led up to it? Who was involved in the situation (work colleagues, supervisor, customers)?
www.exploreHR.org
23
Approach in Competency-based Interview CompetencyTasks/Actions
What tasks were you supposed to do at that time? What did you actually do at that time? How did you do it? What specific steps did you take? Who was involved?
www.exploreHR.org
24
Approach in Competency-based Interview CompetencyResults
What was the outcome? Can you tell me the results of taking such action? What specific outcome was produced by your action?
www.exploreHR.org
25
Sample Questions in CBI
Competency Persistence Sample Question In the process of selling, we are sometimes not successful in securing a new transaction. Can you tell me about one or two situations where you repeatedly failed to get a new client? What specific steps did you take? What was the result? Can you describe one or two cases in your effort to obtain new customers? What did you do? What was the result?
Influencing Others
www.exploreHR.org
26
Sample Questions in CBI
Competency Interpersonal Understanding Sample Question Can you tell me about a situation where you faced a client who was disappointed with your product? What was the situation like? What specific steps did you take? What was the result? In working, we often face a number of priorities 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
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.
First Impressions
www.exploreHR.org
28
Bias in the Interview Process
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.
Halo Effect
www.exploreHR.org
29
Bias in the Interview Process
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.
Contrast Effect

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
www.exploreHR.org
47
Types of Test in Assessment Center
In-Basket Exercise 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 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
www.exploreHR.org
48
Types of Test in Assessment Center
Presentation 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.
Fact-Finding Exercise
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.
49
www.exploreHR.org
Types of Test in Assessment Center
Group Discussion 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.
