The more accurate their search for a candidate is, the more likely they are to find the perfect fit for their corporate culture first-time around.  \nA careful applicant selection can lead to a more efficient and effective interview process. This results in employing the right candidate first time, leading to improved team morale, and a stronger skilled and motivated group of employees.  \nCompetency based interviews, otherwise known as “situational”or “behavioural” interviews, are an increasingly popular solution for companies in search of efficient recruitment strategies.  \nUnfortunately, if you are not prepared for a competency-based interview, you could easily miss out on the role you have set your sights on.  \nHere, we’ll offer a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about the competency-based recruitment process so that you can nail that next interview.  \nIn this guide, we share a step by step approach from:  \n• Practice and Preparation  \n• Example scenarios to use  \n• Body language  \n•   and even what to wear  \nThe report is based on our own experience of what our candidates have experienced over the last 11 years.  \nAll the Best  \nLee and Theresa Durrant  \n2  \nWhat is a Competency Based Interview?  \nA “competency based interview” or “CBI”, is a style of interviewing designed to give an HR manager and company greater insight into how well you demonstrate the “key competencies” required in the role you have applied for. Employers are looking for you to demonstrate your skills, knowledge, and attitude towards your work.  \nIn other words, it’s about looking beyond the results and grades on your C.V and instead examining how you have responded to real-life situations.  \nWhile traditional job interviews might focus on asking questions about; your previous industry experience and what you would do in certain situations.  \nCompetency based questions ask you to present examples of how you’ve used specific skills and knowledge to for example:  \n• Complete projects.  \n• Meet deadlines.  \n• Overcome challenges.  \n• Work collaboratively.  \nThis style of interview is particularly valuable for companies in search of critical skills and characteristics in new employees.  \nThe Benefits of CBIs for Employers  \nCompetency based interviews are not merely a way for hiring managers to“filter out” prospective employees who’ve learned how to respond correctly to standard interview questions. They help employers to refine and improve the recruitment process, by choosing the right Salesforce candidates based not just on their education, and technical skills but also the unique characteristics and abilities that match each role, be that a cloud consultant, project manager or data architects.  \nCompetency based questions ask you to present examples of how you’ve used specific skills and knowledge  \nSome of the main advantages of CBIs for employers include:  \nThe ability to reduce bias: While a lot of today’s companies know that diversity can contribute towards a more efficient workforce, many are also susceptible to the practice of consistently hiring the same people, from the same backgrounds, to avoid disruption to company culture.  \nCompetency based scoring and interviewing allows recruitment professionals to reduce bias and focus on identifying employees that have fundamental skills while sharing","cbCaigpHsR2POMuK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigpHsR2POMuK","pdf",1323939,15,"English","# What is a Competency Based Interview?\n# The Benefits of CBIs for Employers\n# The Benefits of CBIs for Candidates","[{\"question\":\"What is a competency-based interview (CBI) in Salesforce recruitment?\",\"answer\":\"A CBI is a structured interview style designed to evaluate how well you demonstrate the key competencies required for the role.
