Competency-based Interviews by MDIS

Effective organisations and managers recognize that a significant part of building an effective and productive organisation is employing quality people. Interviewing has been identified as a critical management skill. Unplanned and “trial and error” interviewing result in failure. The competency-based selection interviewing provides an approach to interviewing that is behavioural-focused. The approach once mastered will transform a participant’s ability to interview effectively. The program will support the recruitment of employees who are more effective, productive and are satisfied with their jobs; thus, increasing the number of individuals who are productive and reach productivity standards quickly.

Upon completion of this workshop, participants will be able to;

• Use a structured selection process to predict applicants’ job performance.
• Explain the selection process and used an Interview Guide in preparing, conducting and managing the interview to select the right people.
• Use well-thought-out behavioural questioning techniques.
• Establish and build rapport with the applicant.
• Utilise job-related core competencies in the interview process.
• Maintain the image of the organization and ensure that the dignity of the applicant is preserved.
