Purpose

This article helps you add skills to test in your interview plan. By doing this, you can discover essential skills to assess during job interviews, ensuring you hire the best candidate for the role.

Overview

When you navigate to the interview planner for a specific position, you'll find a Skills to test section. This section populates skills based on the roles and calibration associated with the requisition.

• Primary Source (Roles): If the position is associated with a Talent Design (TD) role, the system prioritizes skills defined for that Role.
• Secondary Source (Calibration): If no Role is associated, the system suggests skills from the Position Calibration.

Depending on your organization's configuration, you may only see skills marked as Required, or both Required and Preferred. Skills marked as Excluded in calibration won't appear. If your organization has TD enabled, the skills that have been defined for the position through calibration are automatically organized into distinct Skill groups. These skill groups are inherited directly from TD. Any skills defined through calibration that aren't part of a group will be located under a default group called - Other.

Customize your Skills and Skill Groups

If you need to adjust the suggested skills or skill groups, the Skills to test page offers several options:

• Skill selection: You can easily select or remove individual skills or entire skill groups as required.

• Edit existing skill groups: To modify a saved skill group, click the pencil icon located on each skill group card. This allows you to:
  • Rename the skill group
  • Add new skills to the group
  • Remove existing skills from the group
  • Delete the entire skill group if it's no longer relevant

• Create new skill groups: You can create entirely new skill groups by clicking Add skill group. When creating a new group, you'll also see skill suggestions from the calibration to help you quickly add relevant skills.

Note: You must finalize your skill selection before publishing the interview plan. Once the plan is published, the Skills to test section is locked to ensure all candidates are evaluated against the same criteria.

Assign skills to specific interview rounds

Once you have finalized the Skills to test for the position, you can assign these skills to specific interview rounds within the interview plan. To do this:

1. Navigate to the desired interview round in your interview plan.
2. Add the relevant skills that you want the interviewer in that round to focus on evaluating.
3. Save the changes to ensure the skills are successfully associated with that interview round.

Auto addition of skills and quantitative feedback

When you schedule an interview within a stage where skills have been assigned:

• The associated skills are automatically added to the interview details.
• These selected skills are automatically added as quantitative rating questions in the interview feedback form.
