What are the basic competencies?

Since the 1970s employers have been utilizing competencies to assist applications and oversee their employees. Over the year’s competency systems have progressively been acknowledged in the application process.

Competencies indicate how the person carries out the abilities they have. Competencies are wide, they tell us the capacity and knowledge that an applicant is capable of doing with specified skills.

When an employer confronts competencies the greatest challenge they may find is distinguishing applicant competencies, to begin with. Competency drop into three categories:


  • Behavioural Competencies - An expression of the gentler abilities included in an employee’s performance.
  • Technical Competencies - More often than not concerned with the viable utilize of IT frameworks and computers, or any difficult abilities vital for a work role.
  • Leadership Competencies - Turned into quantifiable behaviours with an expression of the qualities that make a great pioneer.

In an organisation, applicants may require to fulfil some of the basic competencies to accomplish their job role, regardless of their skills not matching. Such as, having the knowledge of what the organisation is about, what they do, the culture of the workplace. As well as, being competent while operating computers and communicating.
