Identify Key Competencies Select Jwi 520 Strayer

Introduction

Hiring is one of the most critical aspects of being a leader. In order to have an effective hiring process,
some important preparation must be done before the candidate search, shortlist selection, and interview
processes even begin. You and your team need to create a job description that includes all the hard and
soft skills desired in candidates, as well as the key responsibilities of the role. After that, you and the team
must agree upon a set of key competencies for the position. Finally, you must develop a set of questions
designed to enable you to interview candidates for those competencies. All candidates will be interviewed
with the same set of questions, thus enabling the hiring team to compare candidates effectively
