Ep 718: Is Skills-Based Hiring Hype Or Reality?


Listen Later

Recruiting Future is a podcast that helps Talent Acquisition teams drive measurable impact by developing their strategic capability in Foresight, Influence, Talent, and Technology.


This episode is about Talent.


After years of hype surrounding skills-based hiring, the data is showing that it is really happening at scale and becoming strategically important across all sectors and company sizes, with some surprising patterns emerging. Organizations are seeing benefits beyond just filling roles, and the implications for TA and HR are significant. What's driving this shift, and what do TA teams need to know?


My guest this week is David Wilkins, Chief Product and Strategy Officer at Talent Neuron. David has produced some exclusive data insights for Recruiting Future that paint a clear picture of where skills-based hiring stands today. In our conversation, he shares where the market is, what specific companies are doing, the real benefits they're seeing, and his thoughts on how AI might change everything in the future.


In the interview, we discuss:


  • What the data tells us about how skills-based hiring is being adopted
    • Which types of companies are moving the fastest
      • Expanding talent pools
        • Driving internal mobility
          • Spotting potential at scale
            • Implications for talent acquisition
              • Breaking the silos in the talent function
                • The full impact of AI is not yet being felt.
                  • The intersection between tasks and skills
                    • What does the future look like?
