Competency-Based Questioning
A way to ask interview questions that directly measure a specific skill or competency the job requires.
"I want to know if they can actually do the thing on day one, not just tell a good story."
Competency-based questioning links each interview question to a defined competency (e.g., problem-solving, collaboration) so answers reveal evidence of ability rather than opinion or vague anecdotes.
