Creating a Competency and Skill Matrix for Recruitment: Need Your Guidance and Tips

Dear Citemembers,

Good afternoon! I am currently working with the Pipe Manufacturing Unit where I have to create a competency and skill matrix sheet for recruitment purposes. This sheet will outline the qualifications, skills, and experience details required for technical positions. I seek your guidance and assistance on the above subject.

Regards,
Mandy

Dear All,

Please advise me on the above subject on how to proceed.

Awaiting a positive response.

Hi Mandeep, For the same, you should start by sitting with your department heads and then scrutinize the basic work profile, basic skills/qualifications needed to do a job. For example, for accounts personnel, they must know how to enter bills, prepare trial balances, reconciliations, etc. Once you have identified these basic requirements, consult with your seniors to determine which competencies are most important for a particular profile. Rate these competencies on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the most desired.

Then, when you are looking for candidates, you will know which qualifications or skill areas are needed the most. I have attached a rough matrix for your reference.

Neha

It depends on the nature of the organization for which you would like to prepare the Competency & Skill Matrix for Recruitment. Maybe I can help you, but could you please inform me for what kind of organization it is to be prepared.

Thanks,
Haidar

Understanding Competencies: Knowledge, Skills & Attributes

Knowledge, Skills & Attributes are the crux of competencies. To be able to map the technical and behavioral competencies, one needs to understand the business process and operations, and identify from functional heads the key skills needed to excel in the role. In this way, for each unique role, you need to identify functional and behavioral competencies.

This can be started by formulating the Job Description along with functional heads, which also captures the qualification, experience, and functional and behavioral competencies of the role.

Competency and skills basically depend on the type of job, position, and role involved in that job. Therefore, competency and skills vary based on the job and position within an organization. The matrix can be designed according to organizational policies or methods.

Dear All, Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I would like to create a document tailored for technical (engineering) positions in the pipe manufacturing business. This document will serve as a reference for the recruitment team when hiring for technical positions. For example, when hiring for a Welding Head position, it should outline the required qualifications, technical and behavioral expertise, years of experience, and so on.

If anyone can assist by sharing or suggesting a format for this document, it would be greatly appreciated.

Regards, Mandy

Dear All, Can anyone provide me with competence or skill matrix templates for the HR department and technical department?
