Starting outFoundationalProficientExpert

S2Foundational · does the basics reliably, by the book

Standardize how you look and listen

  • Runs structured interviews and work-sample activities built from job analysis, asking the same questions in the same order across candidates
  • Records what candidates actually said and did — including failures and weaknesses — rather than gut impressions
  • Uses ability/personality instruments only where trained and treats personality tools as secondary evidence
  • Names the specific on-the-job behaviors each competency is meant to predict

What’s next — Proficientat S3 → S4

Multiple assessors produce consistent, bias-controlled ratings that demonstrably predict job performance — reliability and validity, not just standardization

What to learn

  • Sources of cognitive/social bias and calibration debrief mechanics
  • Criterion validity concepts — how to check a method against actual performance and tenure
  • Legal adverse-impact and defensibility principles

What to practice

  • Training and calibrating other assessors to code and rate the same evidence identically
  • Facilitating structured, evidence-first debriefs that resolve rating disagreements
  • Sincerely selling and closing chosen candidates by addressing their motives
  • Designing a candidate experience perceived as fair and relevant
