Organization and multitasking, information management, communication and Office handling.
How we build the mix
In this role the central filter is not the cognitive side, but disposition, the way people relate and self-control. The mix is built by prioritizing the role's competencies.
Related competencies confirm that this capable person can perform the specific functions of the role well, not just reason in the abstract.
A technical assessment (your own or digitized) verifies they can use the tools of the role. Or, as an alternative, DISC to learn the behavioral profile for the role.
