In competency modeling, what is a 'differentiating competency'?

A recruiter uses social media to research a candidate's personal profile before an interview. What is the primary HR risk?
Answer: Exposure to protected-class information that could bias the hiring decision

Realistic job previews reduce turnover by ensuring candidates self-select out if the role doesn't match their expectations, leading to better job fit and retention.
