How can we make skills-first hiring practices more equitable and effective? A panel at Talent Connect 2023, featuring industry leaders like Hannah Awonuga and Cammie Erickson, shed light on this critical issue. Here are five key takeaways on how to make skills-first hiring more equitable: 1. Refine Your Definition of Talent: Look beyond traditional markers like company pedigree or educational background. Consider life experiences and unique skills. 2. De-emphasize Formal Education: Focus on the soft skills that matter – resilience, planning, organizing – which aren’t exclusive to formal education. 3. Incorporate Assessments: Identify skills early in the hiring process. This approach is particularly effective for ensuring a broader and more inclusive talent pool. 4. Equity Over Equality: Tailor the hiring process to individual needs. Recognize that different backgrounds mean different requirements for success. 5. Leadership Buy-In: To truly embed a skills-first approach, leadership must be on board. Showcase data that underscores the benefits of a diverse workforce to shift mindsets and foster a culture that values skills over pedigree. https://lnkd.in/e5XRVEvD Your thoughts?
