Core competencies
Core competencies are the core skills and competencies needed for an employee to achieve his or her goals and be successful at work. These skills are often listed in the job description (JD) and can vary depending on the position and rank.
 
 
Some examples of Core Competencies might include:
  1. Ability to communicate effectively and persuasively
  2. Ability to manage time and prioritize work]
  3. Ability to work independently and in a team
  4. Analytical and problem-solving ability
  5. The ability to create and innovate
 
Listing the core competencies in JD helps Human Resources (HR) to select suitable candidates for the position and rank. Besides, HR can evaluate the performance of employees in the company.
 
Note
The list of core competencies should not be too long. HR must consider before making requirements that are too high compared to the actual capacity of the candidate.
