Competency-based interviews are a type of structured interview
featuring questions designed to determine the candidate’s ability
to handle specific situations on-the-job.
These questions generally require the candidate
to demonstrate their leadership and technical skills
by providing examples of situations they have faced in the past
and what they did in those situations.
When interviewers ask competency-based questions,
they are looking for answers that demonstrate a candidate can deal with
the challenges of the job, work well with others,
and use their skills and experience effectively.
Examples of competency-based questions are;
“Tell me about a time when you…”,
“What specific activities do you undertake when….”,
or “How do you ensure that…”
