WIC – Candidate Evaluation

In this comprehensive course, we guide small businesses through a skills-based approach to recruitment, starting with an introduction to the limitations of traditional, credential-focused methods. We then cover how to shift from pedigree-based screening to competency-focused evaluation, enabling a fairer and more precise candidate assessment. Subsequent lessons delve into the nuts and bolts of skills-based interviewing, teaching you how to ask competency-focused questions and avoid common pitfalls. We also introduce the concept of work-based assessments for a practical understanding of a candidate’s abilities. Finally, the course culminates with a recap and a useful checklist to help you seamlessly integrate these techniques into your hiring process. Our aim is to help you find candidates who not only fit well on paper but excel in their roles.
