Core Competencies Tab and Job Competencies Tabs

The appraisal administrator determines which competencies are evaluated in an employee appraisal.

All employees in an organization may be evaluated based on the same competencies, or competencies may differ by role, department, and so on.

An employee is evaluated based on how well he or she demonstrates these competencies during the evaluation period.

Deltek Talent Management distinguishes between two types of competencies and displays them on separate tabs in the employee appraisal.

  • Core Competencies: These are general abilities that everyone in an organization is expected to have and on which they are rated.
  • Job Competencies: These are abilities that are relevant to a specific job title or role.

    Your organization can add its own competency categories, which will be treated in the same way as Core Competencies. Each category added will have its own tab.

    Different competencies and goals may have different weights so that, for example, Decision Making is weighted more heavily than Teamwork in an employee’s Overall Rating.
