Examples show how they work to find viable candidates.KnowledgeIn this context, knowledge pertains to a person\u2019s ability to understand specific concepts. Someone may know what a tool is for or have a basic textbook understanding of a process, but they may not know how to apply that knowledge in a real and tangible way.Example: An employee may have read countless articles about computer programming and have several books on the topic, but that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean they can write code. Someone who has true knowledge of the subject will have real, hands-on experience with computer programming.SkillsThe term skills in relation to the KSA model refers to any capabilities or demonstrated proficiencies developed via training or by hands-on experience. Someone with skills can apply their knowledge and understanding in a demonstrable way.Example: A person who has taken a course in welding has some knowledge of the skill. However, they earn and develop the skill by using the tools required to weld and welding something in real life. Doing this repeatedly turns those skills into actual experience.AbilitiesThe abilities portion of the knowledge, skills and abilities model is similar to skills, but it has some distinct differences. A candidate with abilities has natural talents or traits that add value to your business.Example: Job candidates may understand the core concepts involved in painting a house, but someone with abilities has a natural knack or talent for painting walls and trim in an efficient way. Another example would be a candidate for a legal position who seems to have an innate ability to understand the human condition and how to negotiate and persuade a jury or deal with legal technicalities."}
