Artificial intelligence is transforming the labour market, creating entirely new jobs requiring new in-demand skills.
With this knowledge comes the challenging of securing the right people for your team.
Being able to demonstrate one’s competency in these new skills along with the qualities of relationship management and workplace cultural fit have become the currency for talent mobility, as degrees have shown to be a bad proxy for possessing these in-demand skills.
In fact, Glassdoor reports that 15 companies ranging from Google to Hilton Hotels and Apple, are offering well-paying jobs to those possessing in-demand skills, but lacking a degree.
More companies are piloting relationship and skills-based hiring, or the practice of setting specific skills and competency requirements for a job rather than only looking at a candidate’s credentials.
