In the dynamic landscape of artificial intelligence and increased online interconnectedness, the modern workforce continually transforms and challenges traditional hiring methods. As our daily processes continue to change, employers must begin to embrace alternative talent acquisition solutions. Thus embracing the transformative power of skills-based hiring. Companies that utilize AI strategies might explore hiring for skills like problem-solving and critical thinking. Companies focused on cultural growth might embrace social assessment as part of their hiring process. In addition to accommodating the ever-changing workforce, skills-based hiring also promotes diversity and inclusion in the workplace. How can businesses embrace a skills-first approach to hiring, challenging traditional norms and fostering diversity and inclusion? #FutureOfWork #SkillsBasedHiring #BusinessTransformation #InclusiveGrowth #OpportunityProject https://ow.ly/QhW550Qlx4b

There are significant trends emerging out of 2023 as we head into the zone of cautious optimism across most sectors. AI will dominate the headlines for years to come as will WFH vs. hybrid vs. in office work models. I suspect the demand for talent will outweigh supply even after the shakeup in the tech sector. Skill demand hiring will be top of mind for hiring managers as they look to curb the attrition rates due to failed hires in previous years. There will be a major shift as the employer-employee relationship will continue to become refined, especially for those with in-demand skillsets. Employers will need to foster those relationships, focus their attention on retention by building a stronger culture and community and giving tools and support where needed most. As I’ve stated in previous posts, Private Equity is looking down the barrel of a gun as much needed emphasis will be on attraction, selection, and retention given the eyebrow rising attrition report from AlixPartners for CEOs and CFOs in PE backed companies – this will give boutiques search firms more opportunity to gain market share in the year to come. Furthermore, boutique search firms will continue to take market share from the large players and top talent from those firms will opt for an exciting platform in growth mode or at a minimum with more exposure to the client side of a search.  We will continue to see search firms add new tricks to their bag in the way of leadership assessments and other value-added solutions – most will be a technology play given the appeal of AI. I don’t know about you, but I look forward to the challenges the year ahead will bring – what are trends you are seeing in your sightline? #WeAreEastward

All brilliant points when thinking about managing, raising talent density. I'd add KPIs and alignment on the real ones. When it comes to goals, performance and key indicators. I love the ones that you the TA bod can truly influence... not it's not messages opened, which isn't even a useful interim indicator to me. If you want to go with one KPI that I've heard in a pod from Robin Choy and as a talent sourcer feels natural and useful. 50% of all accepted submittal for key roles that matter has to be direct source. When you measure relevant input and the output of the process follows there's not a lot that can go wrong. Yes, you may still have to split test outreach messaging :) #talentDensityWhenDoneRight
