Interviews are largely competency based. View our competency framework.

Our interviews are competency based and operate on the principal that past behaviour is a good indicator of future performance. In order to answer the questions fully you should use the S.T.A.R method. This means you should think about your example in terms the Situation, your Task, the Action you took and the Result.

Competency Wheel
The ComReg Competency Wheel summarises the Competency Framework. In order to ensure consistency across the recruitment process, all competencies used during recruitment and selection at ComReg can now be derived from the Framework, which includes the following components;
Nine attributes*
Three overarching competency clusters
Eleven core competencies
Five ComReg Values*
Competency Framework Wheel *The attributes and values are applicable to all ComReg employees and not directly related to specific competencies, levels or clusters.
A Competency describes the critical knowledge, skills, abilities that individuals are expected to demonstrate.
A Competency Framework can be described as the library that holds and organises the descriptions of behaviours applicable at all levels for all roles.
Why have a Competency Framework?
Common Understanding – Recruitment process is based on identified competencies and required behaviours
Efficiency and Focus – Definition of required behaviours does not need to be re-visited for each vacancy
Transparency – Can define exactly what behaviours are required
Organisational Identity – written in organisational language and iterate the kind of behaviours we value as an organisation and which are required to help us meet our goals
Create foundation – for future initiatives such as building career paths, structuring performance management, designing personal development plans, etcs and required behaviours helping to make it more efficient and focused.
