HOW TO APPLY THE Job’s COMPETENCIES TO THE SELECTION PROCESS?
There is a difference between the mere description of the position and the management by competencies.
People shouldn’t occupy a job position, but domain a series of competences.
We use new techniques in order to evaluate them. When a selection process aims to measure the skills and the knowledge, it is relatively easy; however, when what you desire to evaluate are the conducts, everything gets more complicated. This is what will try to solve in this part of the book. As it is easier to evaluate the knowledge, many companies cover only this aspect when hiring personnel and then have problems. If the company works by competences it is necessary to interview and select in function to them.
Therefore, an adviser should know the competences required by the position in the company and if he/she is specialist in human resources, he/she should keep in mind the competences of this area in particular.
First step: detecting the key competences:
The vision and the mission of the company
The objective of the business and the action plan
The high direction vision
The company’s culture and its style
The required competencies
Second step: detecting on the candidate the key characteristics that have a casual relation with a superior development at work.
Third step: using new tools:
New interview format
Competences manual
Group dynamic
Fourth step: making a follow up of the behaviour of the competences observed in the selection.
Why four steps? Because the main objective of the companies when they adopt the competences model is to make the company competitive; the model shouldn’t be interpreted only as a development program for the human resources.
