Program Professional Framework
Competency Based Interviewing Skills
Program Overview
A poor hiring decision is expensive to reverse, and unstructured interviews are among the weakest predictors of job performance. This programme trains interviewers to run structured, evidence-based competency interviews: linking job analysis to competency frameworks, writing behavioural and situational questions, probing with the STAR technique, scoring against behaviourally anchored rating scales, and reaching fair panel decisions. It addresses interviewer bias, candidate experience and documentation, and reflects Gulf recruitment priorities such as nationalisation programmes and assessing early-career national talent.
Learning Outcomes
- ✓Derive the critical competencies for a role from job analysis and the organisation's competency framework.
- ✓Write behavioural and situational interview questions with probing follow-ups for each target competency.
- ✓Use the STAR technique to elicit complete evidence of past behaviour and recognise vague or hypothetical answers.
- ✓Score candidate responses consistently using behaviourally anchored rating scales.
- ✓Identify common interviewer biases and apply mitigation practices during interviews and panel calibration.
- ✓Document interview evidence and hiring recommendations in a format that withstands internal review.
Target Audience
- Recruitment and talent acquisition specialists
- Hiring managers and interview panel members
- HR business partners

Training Methodology
Applied Project & Assessment
Applied Project
Participants prepare a complete competency interview kit for a real vacancy: success profile, six competencies with question sets and probes, rating scales and a panel scoring sheet, then test it in a recorded mock interview.
Assessment
Short diagnostic at the start, practical tasks linked to each learning outcome, and evaluation of the applied project against published criteria.
