Frequently Asked Questions
How Can We Help You?
Quick answers to your top questions about competencies.
AtmanCo's competencies combine innate, untapped skills with observable, learned abilities. Together, they provide a double-sided picture of what a person is naturally capable of and what they have developed over time — giving organizations a complete view of talent.
Yes. All competencies have been developed in collaboration with hundreds of organizations and scientific researchers recognized in the fields of psychometrics and organizational psychology.
During recruitment, competency profiles help identify candidates whose natural talents align with role requirements. For example, for a Sales Manager role in financial services, AtmanCo surfaces competencies like Influence, Resilience, and Strategic Thinking — then automatically generates tailored, behaviour-based interview questions for each. This replaces subjective gut checks with structured, evidence-based decisions.
Yes. AtmanCo allows you to customize Competency Profiles to reflect the specific skills and behaviors most critical to a given role, team, or organizational culture.
Yes. You can download a free sample competency assessment directly from the Resources menu under Sample Reports.
A psychometric assessment measures underlying psychological traits — cognitive ability, personality dimensions, preferences — that are relatively stable over time. A competency framework defines the observable skills and behaviours required for success in a role. AtmanCo bridges both: its assessments reveal innate potential, while its competency library maps that potential to observable, role-specific behaviours that can be developed and measured.
AtmanCo's competency library can be aligned to role-specific requirements within your organization. For companies operating in regulated industries or those using National Occupational Classification (NOC) codes for workforce planning, AtmanCo's team can assist in mapping competencies to your existing role taxonomy. Contact us to discuss your specific context.
Building a competency framework involves three steps: (1) define the roles and levels in scope; (2) identify the key behaviours and skills that drive performance in each role; (3) validate with managers and subject matter experts. AtmanCo's platform accelerates this process with a library of 60+ pre-validated competencies and 150+ sub-competencies, customizable to your organizational context. AtmanCo's consulting team can also facilitate the process end-to-end.
Built for people. Backed by science.
AtmanCo’s competencies are subjected to scientific validation by researchers recognized in the field of psychometrics and organizational psychology.
