The psychology of behaviorally-focused resumes on applicant selection: Are your hiring managers really hiring the 'right' people for the 'right' jobs?
This article examines the explosive growth of competency-based, or behavioral, selection programs within organizations. Recognizing this trend, many job applicants have learned to position themselves for selection by leveraging competency-based selection program concepts and psychological factors that influence r sum screening processes and interview decision outcomes. Specifically, there is a growing trend for job applicants to submit behaviorally-focused r sum s-that is, r sum s which emphasize behaviors required for success in positions-to gain interviews for job opportunities. These behaviorally-focused r sum s may position applicants as the right' candidates for job opportunities, even if they are not truly the right' candidates for the jobs they seek. As such, it benefits employers to familiarize their hiring professionals with behaviorally-based r sum s and competency program theories. Understanding these concepts and the psychology of behaviorally-focused r sum s helps hiring professionals evaluate behaviorally-focused r sum s more accurately, and minimizes r sum prescreening and selection mistakes.
