Skills-Based Hiring Guide | Talos360
Ever advertised a role just to be inundated with applicants who don't quite fit the bill? Don't worry, you're not alone… The skills gap is an all-too-common problem for HR and hiring managers.
Sometimes, the difference between the skills needed for a role and the skills available in the job market can feel huge, and with traditional hiring, it can be hard to pinpoint those candidates who possess the skills you require.
Here in the UK, 40% of workers do not possess the right qualifications. For employers, this has serious repercussions; from loss of productivity to poor morale, hiring those without the right skills can have a lasting impact on business performance and revenue.
So, how are hiring managers avoiding the skills gap and finding candidates right for their roles?
As explored in our Skills-Based Hiring Guide, businesses are turning their attention to the skills-based hiring approach. By opting for skills-based hiring, employers are looking at candidates' skills to determine their viability for a role instead of the traditional experience and education.
With a skills-based hiring approach, businesses can better match candidates to their roles based on core skills identified with candidate assessments, helping to tackle the perennial issue of skills shortages by widening the talent pool – considerably.
