Separate guides for each of the 34 competencies in Workitect's Competency Dictionary
  • Tailored to your specific Competency Model
  • For assessing internal or external candidates

Purpose of the Guides

Competency Interview Guides assist in the behavioral interview process. Each guide provides specific questions and probes for each of the 34 competencies in Workitect's Competency Dictionary. In addition, positive and negative behavioral indicators are listed that will help evaluate the candidate's responses. While the process described below is designed for multiple interviewers seeing each candidate, it can be completed with only one interviewer.

How to Conduct an Interview Using a Guide
Prior to the interview:
  • Review the candidate's resume
  • Review the assigned the competency and behavioral indicators and select the questions to ask each candidate.
  • Allot 30-45 minutes for the interview.
During the interview:
  • Greet the candidate and spend a few minutes building rapport; talk about areas the candidate is interested in.
  • Transition into the formal interview.
  • Ask questions and follow-up to probe for accomplishments-ideally at least 2-3 examples in each area. Get complete examples which include:
    • The situation that the candidate encountered;
    • The actions that the candidate took;
    • The results or outcome of the actions taken;
  • Use the guide to take notes and evaluate the candidate. Notes can be taken on additional paper or media. The interview can be tape recorded and transcribed.
Following the interview:
  • Check off appropriate behavioral indicators and summarize key observations and notes. Rate the candidate on each competency in the space provided.
  • Note any observations for competencies not assigned and be prepared to discuss.
  • After completing, interviewers should meet to discuss and reach consensus on the final ratings for each candidate and complete the Candidate Interview Summary [ PDF 57 KB ].
  • Make selection decision.
