Proceso de reclutamiento y selección de personal por competencias en empresas del sector industrial de la ciudad de Cuenca

Abstract

The competency-based recruitment and selection process is a technical methodology focused on identifying and hiring individuals whose skills, knowledge, and attitudes are aligned with the specific demands of a position and the organizational culture. The problem lies in the lack of clarity and homogeneity on how companies in the industrial sector of the city of Cuenca carry out these processes. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze the recruitment and selection processes in the industrial sector of Cuenca. This work is descriptive and non-experimental, with a quantitative approach to examine these processes by competencies. Data were collected through surveys and interviews with five industrial companies using a transversal cohort design; the instruments showed high reliability with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.988. The results show divided opinions on selection and recruitment processes, with clarity in selection but areas for improvement in communication and assessment of applicants.
