Competency analysis reveals the specification of competencies to be demonstrated by the applicant (Woods et al., 2010). Managers are likely to analyze and interpret, organize and execute, undertake, execute, lead and decide, skills that are all highly correlated with overall job performance (OJP) (Bartram, 2002). Following the trend, this suggests that OJP assessments are influenced primarily by task performance, rather than contextual competencies, and therefore a task-focused assessment using a competency framework is recommended. However, it is very important that the staff carrying out the assessment are adequately trained, so that a clear link to the competencies is evident and each criterion is assessed more than once. We recommend using a combination of tools to get an accurate assessment: an application form, an SJT test and a GMA test are suggested for pre-selection and a competency-based interview for final decision making
