Course Overview

Organisations need to attract and select the most competent and promising individuals. Competence is all about being able to do a job well, and showing potential to grow and develop within the business. Organisations which have developed competency frameworks need to make the most of their use in recruitment. Otherwise, people may find that although their performance is being managed against one set of criteria, they are selected on the basis of something different. However, competency-based recruitment isn't simply a case of substituting one list of requirements for another. It means changing the way we think about recruitment and possibly using different selection tools.

This course focuses on how to express competency requirements, attract people who meet those requirements and then select the candidates who are the most competent or have the potential to be so.
