Applying Skills and Competencies to the Talent Lifecycle - with Mark Kaestner

In this episode, Dan van der Werf interviews Mark Kaestner about applying skills and competencies to the talent lifecycle. 

The key takeaway from this episode:

• Having a strong Employee Value Proposition is critical right now to attract and hire good talent.
• Behavioral-based interviewing is a great way to assess candidates’ skills when hiring. When using these types of interview questions, it is important to use a Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale (i.e., the most objective, fair, and accurate rating scale). 
• Skill development is not one size fits all, and it’s important to have a learning strategy that can tailor and personalize learning plans for each employee. Also, career development does not equal career progression. Some people want to grow in the role they are in and do not aspire to move into other roles, and that’s okay.
