Competency-Based Interviewing (CBI)
Hire Smarter with CBI — Make Every Interview Count
At Talentify, we believe effective hiring isn’t just about asking the right questions — it’s about understanding what success looks like and how to spot it in real people.
That’s why we’ve designed a focused, 1-day workshop to help HR professionals, recruiters, and hiring managers master the art of Competency-Based Interviewing.
Through practical scenarios, hands-on exercises, and proven frameworks, you’ll learn how to identify the competencies that matter most, craft targeted interview questions, and evaluate candidates with confidence and consistency.
Whether you’re new to structured interviews or looking to sharpen your approach, this course will give you the tools and techniques to make your hiring process smarter, fairer, and more effective.
