Competencies Competencies are the most objective indicators of the skills and behaviors required for effective on-the-job performance. Broadly defined, they are measurable and demonstrate behaviors, knowledge, skills, characteristics and education that support successful performance. Today, competencies are increasingly gaining acceptance in the nonprofit world after being widely recognized and used in the private sector for recruitment, performance management and retention for several years. crawfordconnect is one of only a handful of executive search companies working with nonprofits that use competency-based profiles to support the recruitment process. We have developed a dictionary of competencies for all the major positions in this field. By adopting this competency-based approach to recruitment, crawfordconnect has built a reputation for successfully selecting professionals who accurately and objectively identify with the nonprofit organization's culture and job requirements. crawfordconnect uses net>HIRE™, an innovative, Internet-based competency product that identifies candidates whose self-assessed strengths match the organization's requirements. The use of technology also enables us to communicate with and assess candidates throughout North America and around the world in real time. |
