Facing rapid growth and increased competition for talent, this global healthcare company wanted to improve its ability to identify, hire, engage, and retain high-performing employees who fit both the role and the organization’s culture.
LSA Global designed and delivered a highly customized, experiential Competency Based Interviewing Training program that equipped hiring leaders with practical, research-backed interviewing skills to make better hiring decisions while reducing bias and legal risk.
Participants learned how to:
Research consistently shows that structured competency-based interviews combined with leadership simulation assessments, work sample exercises, and validated psychometric assessments predict on-the-job success more accurately than interviews alone. Candidates also tend to prefer simulations because they provide an opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities in realistic business situations rather than simply talking about them.
The Bottom Line
Hiring success begins long before a candidate accepts an offer. Organizations that invest in competency-based interviewing equip hiring managers to consistently identify candidates with the skills, behaviors, and cultural fit needed to perform and thrive. By combining structured interviews with proven behavioral interviewing techniques, organizations can improve hiring quality, reduce unconscious bias, keep interviews legally compliant, and make more objective hiring decisions. The result is a stronger talent pipeline, higher employee retention, and a workforce better positioned to execute the organization’s strategy.
