Today's recruitment landscape has become significantly more complex than before. HR professionals now implement multi-stage procedures to identify the best candidates from large applicant pools.

Key Changes in Candidate Selection:

1. Beyond Traditional CVs

   • Submitting a resume alone is now outdated.

   • New requirements include:

     • Cover letters

     • Strong profiles on platforms like LinkedIn

2. The Interview Evolution

   • Verification of claimed skills has become critical.

   • Focus shifted to assessing a candidate’s actual impact in previous roles.

The Rise of CBI (Competency-Based Interviews)

Core Principle:
"Past behavior is the best indicator of future performance."

How It Works:

• Interviewers ask for real-life examples demonstrating skills listed in your CV.

• Candidates must showcase their competencies through specific situations where they made measurable contributions.
