Competency-based interviewing is a structured technique used to assess a candidate’s suitability based on specific skills, behaviors, and abilities relevant to the role. Questions typically prompt candidates to provide examples from past experiences to demonstrate their competence in key areas.

This method is particularly effective in evaluating leadership, decision-making, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills. It encourages candidates to offer real-world evidence of how they have handled situations similar to those they might face in the new role.

For executive roles, this technique helps reduce bias and ensures a thorough, objective comparison of top candidates. It also aligns hiring decisions with business needs and performance expectations.
