In today’s dynamic business environment, organizations are increasingly relying on competency-based talent management to drive hiring, development, and succession planning. However, many competency frameworks are built around organizational jargon and cultural aspirations rather than scientifically validated measures.
Hogan Configure stands apart as Hogan’s competency-based solution designed to help organizations objectively assess talent against the competencies that matter most for success in a role. Built on extensive job research and validation studies, Configure enables organizations to define success criteria and compare individuals across 62 scientifically derived competencies.
For Talent Acquisition, Configure provides an evidence-based approach to evaluating candidates against the key behaviors and competencies required for job performance, supporting more informed and objective hiring decisions. Beyond recruitment, it serves as a valuable tool for identifying High-Potential talent, enabling organizations to map potential scores against performance metrics and create a 9-Box Performance-Potential Matrix for succession planning and leadership pipeline development.
Configure also offers powerful organizational insights by highlighting workforce talent trends, helping HR teams refine talent selection, development, and retention strategies.
The Hogan Competency Model groups the 62 competencies into four interconnected domains:
- Intrapersonal Skills – self-awareness, resilience, and self-control that form the foundation for professional success.
- Interpersonal Skills – the ability to build relationships, understand others, and collaborate effectively.
- Business Skills – analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making capabilities essential for organizational performance.
- Leadership Skills – competencies required to attract, motivate, develop, and retain talent while driving a shared vision.
Developed using the Hogan & Warrenfeltz Domain Model, these competencies provide a comprehensive and practical framework for evaluating performance and potential across roles and job families. By aligning talent decisions with validated competency data, Hogan Configure empowers organizations to place the right people in the right roles and build a future-ready workforce.
