HR Tool CAI
Competency analysis instrument


How do you decide which competencies are desired or necessary to function successfully within a given position or at a specific function level? An important question when you are designing your HR policies.

Each time you introduce a new position, discuss career planning or implement a restructuring plan, but also at the recruitment or evaluation stage, you will like to work with the right competency profiles. The tool that will help you with this is the Competency Analysis-Instrument CAI®.


A tested competency analysis


CAI® performs a thorough competency analysis for you based on tasks and responsibilities, organisation culture and strategy. Information is collected from various respondents, after which the various competencies are being weighed.

CAI® is based upon our long expertise and on the present situation. This ensures not only an efficient and systematic competency assessment, it is also responsible. You will avoid stereotype and unrealistically heavy profiles and you will reach consensus by defining the final competency profile during a consensus .


Easy to use


Respondents indicate to which extent they believe a specific situation is important for a specific position. This is marked on a five-point scale. The extent of consensus too, is systematically established and included in a report. This report gives a clear overview of the 38 Quintessence competencies and an indication of the relevance for a specific position or function level.


Target group


The HR department and directors wanting to structure their policies on the basis of competency management. Everybody looking for clear profiles as a solid basis for competency assessment and development.
