The selection process at Vybhav largely follows competency-based approach to hiring. When a job falls vacant or a new role is sanctioned for hiring, the hiring manager provides a Job Description. There is an on-line repository of generic job descriptions for all the roles at Vybhav The hiring manager picks up the appropriate job descriptions and adds his comment on the role as per the Competency Framework for his team. The manager updates the candidate’s details w.r.t experience, qualifications, industry preference and other professional requirements for the role.

The following document is key to commence the selecting set of activities. Without this filled-in document and the appropriate approvals for hiring, the staffing team will not start the process.

The staffing team then picks up the competency checklist that is available in the competency dictionary for the role as identified by the hiring manager.
The checklist contains the recommended approach to hiring for the role. It essentially consists of:
• The recommended hiring method, as in online tests, group discussion and interviews/panel interviews.
• Recommends a list of possible interviewers ideally required to interview for this role.
• The behavioural interview questionnaire for the list of competency that the role expects.
• The set of experiences that the candidate should have categorised as ‘must have’ and ‘good to have’.
This document acts as a guiding document for the Staffing Consultant as well as the Recruiting Executive. Often the Staffing Consultant reviews this with the hiring manager before the hiring process commences, to ensure that the expectations are in-place.
