Hiring teams base their decisions on many factors, most significantly a candidate’s experience, qualifications, and core competencies. Core competencies are the unique traits, attitudes, and behavior patterns that enable employees to succeed in that particular role. Experience and expertise are easy to assess. But competencies are not always easy for talent acquisition professionals to identify and are often overlooked in traditional hiring processes.

What’s the difference between employee satisfaction and employee engagement? Though they are related, it’s important to understand these two distinct concepts and what they reveal about your workforce.

Your employees may be highly satisfied, but that doesn’t always mean they’re engaged.
