Job Competency Analysis

There’s often a broad distinction between the tasks, duties and responsibilities of a position vs. the behavioral competencies needed to be successful in that role. When your company has an urgent recruiting need, it’s easy to move forward with a thoughtful job description and hiring process that never merges these two critical aspects. A deeper analysis of the characteristics linked to exceptional performance by individuals and teams is perhaps one of the most essential elements of your talent acquisition strategy.

There’s more than meets the eye in this area – quite literally. Some competencies are visible, like attention to detail while others, like strategic vision and honesty/integrity are less obvious. Typically the hidden capabilities are the more dramatic in terms of overall impact and success.
