Role

Security Supervisor

The hiring challenge

Runs shifts and responds to incidents while keeping the protocol. In an interview it's hard to see who keeps a cool head and the procedure when everything gets tense.

What to assess

Integrity, self-control under pressure, and the ability to lead the team within the protocol.

How we build the mix

1 · The weight is on attitude

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.

2 · 6 to 8 role competencies

Related competencies confirm that this capable person can perform the specific functions of the role well, not just reason in the abstract.

3 · Technical or DISC

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.
