The Importance of Assessing Company Values

Distilling company values into core competencies is essential for effective recruitment. This approach enables organizations to define what their values mean in practical terms, allowing for a structured interview process. For example, instead of merely assessing for collaboration, determining that curiosity is the relevant competency provides a more targeted inquiry during interviews. This process creates internal alignment on the interpretation of values and ensures that the competencies reflect the actual behaviors the organization seeks in its candidates.
