People interviewing for jobs today often fail because they are using yesterday's strategies. Technology is becoming more sophisticated and virtual assessment centres are being used to assess how strong candidates are in key competency areas. Global competencies are being used to help organisations choose people for international assignments or simply to work on diverse international teams.
