Competency Evaluation is the process of assessing the current skill levels of employees and the potential competencies they can acquire or enhance. When carried out for the entire team against a specific standard—for example, ISO 9001—it reveals the skill gaps that must be bridged if the company aims to achieve its strategic goals.

The Most Common Types of Competency Evaluations:

• Skill Checklists: These can be used in vocational training, mentoring, and on-the-job training programs, where employees can track their progress in achieving the required job performance.
• Competency Tests: These tests can serve as the basis for obtaining a professional certification, for performance management, and for verifying knowledge and skills.
• Online Competency Evaluations: Functional skill lists, combined with performance criteria, are perfectly suited to be administered as digital competency evaluations.
• Competency-Based and Specialized Interviews: These are effective methods for assessing job candidates by targeting the specific competencies required for the position.
• Skills Gap Analysis: This analysis can identify deficiencies in training programs and employee skills. It can be conducted using 180-degree or 360-degree assessments.
• Recruitment Competency Evaluation: A self-assessment test (sometimes verified by a third party) used to determine if a candidate possesses the necessary skills for the job.

The evaluation process can be made systematic and immediate through the use of ERP software or specialized programs such as Cognology.
