Adding Competencies

Competencies can be used as Interview Assessment criteria.

The requisition creation process can be quicker and easier if families and roles are created and competencies are mapped to roles. When this mapping is done, competencies will auto-populate on the requisition.

• Competencies can be assigned to each job requisition and then used as Interview Assessment criteria within an area called Interview Central.

• The figure, Competencies in a Job Requisition and in Interview Assessment, shows competencies added to a requisition from the SAP SuccessFactors competency library.

• Note that the Expected Rating and Weight columns are not used in the Interview Central functionality. There is no way to disable these unused columns.

  

• Competencies can be auto-populated into the job requisition by linking them to roles and by using the Family and Roles option when creating a new requisition.

• This provides an easy way to feed a new job requisition with existing role definitions and competencies. The figure, Competency Library, shows an example of a role with associated competencies in Admin Center.

• Competencies must be added to the requisition for the Interview Assessment feature to function properly as the competencies will be carried over to the Interview Assessment.
