Breakout: Skills Based Recruiting & Hiring

Standard recruiting and hiring processes seem to be dominated by a focus on degree and pedigree. Rigid job descriptions and strict qualification standards unnecessarily limit applicant pools and take the focus away from what is actually important. Pathways for education and professional development have expanded dramatically and our recruiting pipelines should be expanding as well. What if every time a position was vacated, organizational competency gaps were assessed? What if contribution potential was an actual assessment metric? Jump in the DeLorean with us as we try to take a glimpse at the future of hiring.
