Identifying Competencies

When trying to fill a position at a company or organization, it is important to construct a careful list of skills and abilities that are needed to fulfill the responsibilities of the position. Identifying competencies seems like an easy task, but it can be quite difficult in some circumstances. Also, there are methods that can make the whole process easier and more accurate. Online career coaching can teach the basic and advanced methods of identifying job competencies. Before getting to that in more detail, here are some basic tips and ideas for identifying job competencies.

Tips for Identifying Competencies

This is one basic method many people use to compile a list of competencies. It can vary wildly and there are more specific tips that can be used, but here are the basics.

  • Observe and Listen - By watching people perform tasks at work, it is easy to compile a list of what they do. This will help with compiling a list of exact skills and abilities that are needed for the position.
  • Conduct a Questionnaire - Beyond observing employees who are already in the job position, another good idea is to ask direct questions of employees and have them write the answers down. Even when done anonymously, this can provide valuable information.
  • Compare and Compile - After observing and getting the opinion of those doing the job, the next step is to sit down and compare all the information and compile a master list of competencies that are required for the position.
As you can see, this is a really simple process, but there are many techniques and practical tips that can make it foolproof and even more valuable. This is where we come in.
