Scenario
Your startup apparel company just turned 2 years old and recently landed 3 retail distribution accounts that would require you to manufacture and deliver 5 times as much product than your current output.
There are currently 3 coordinators that work in the Operations Supply Chain / Logistics area of the business, but the executives have decided that the company needs to hire a seasoned manager to take over and lead that function.
The person who fills the position will need to have a wide breadth of experience and knowledge to oversee the existing group, interact with overseas suppliers, and execute on the work in this high-pressure/fast-paced work environment.
Assignment
Pick 5 competencies for the role described in the scenario and develop an interview guide to use for interviewing candidates that position (the interview guide should have 2 to 3 questions per competency that you pick)
Additional Information:
Interview Guides – Core Competencies
- Competencies are the measurable/observable knowledge, skills, abilities, and behaviors critical to successful job performance
- Choosing the right competencies allows employers to evaluate employees objectively and:
- Plan how they will organize and develop their workforce
- Determine which job classes best fit their business needs
- Recruit and select the best employees
- Manage and train employees effectively
- Develop staff to fill future vacancies
Interview Guides
- When we are interviewing people for a role, what are some of the different issues we encounter if we are meeting with multiple candidates?
- How do we compare them against each other?
- How do we objectively assess who is the best fit?
- How do we standardize things?
- That’s where an interview guide comes into play
- Interview guides provide structure for the interviewers to follow / it provides “apples to apples” information so that what we compare is the same and it is helpful for note-taking
