Competency-based recruitment

Hey there kiddo! Do you know what a job is and how people find them? When someone wants to work, they need to show the people looking for workers that they know how to do the job. That means they need to have something called "competency", or the ability to do the work.

Now, there's something called competency-based recruitment. This means that when people are looking for workers, they don't just ask about what the person has studied or where they've worked before. Instead, they ask about specific things that the job needs, and they see if the person knows how to do those things.

Let's say someone is looking for a cook to work in a restaurant. In competency-based recruitment, they wouldn't just ask if the person knows how to cook. They would ask about specific things that the job needs, like "Can you chop vegetables quickly and safely?" or "Can you make a delicious sauce?"

Then, the person looking for workers would see if the job applicant knows how to do those specific things. They might ask the applicant to show them how they would chop vegetables, or they might ask them to make a sauce from scratch. If the job applicant can show that they know how to do these things, they have a better chance of getting the job.

So, competency-based recruitment is all about finding the people who have the skills and abilities that the job needs the most. It's like finding the right puzzle piece that fits perfectly into the puzzle – someone who has the "competency" to do the job well.
