Moving to Skills Based Hiring (SBH)

 

We’ve heard a great deal about Skills Based Hiring but what is it and what does it actually look like in practice? The movement away from hiring on bio / experience is welcome, as we know correlation is very weak before prior experience and job performance, but how exactly are we meant to identify people who can / want to do the job?

 

– What is SBH?

– Are certain job roles more suited to it than others?

– How do you understand what skills are required to do a job?

– Are we talking about personality traits?

– What kind of assessments are suitable for the task?

– What kind of business case can be made for SBH?

– Do recruiter skills change, in the context of SBH?

– What benefits can we expect, what challenges?

 

All this and more on Brainfood Live On Air.
