Skill Based Hiring is Impacting Recruiting
- What skill-based hiring is?
- How do develop competencies for job descriptions?
- Evaluating candidates on more specific qualifications
- Identifying and sourcing those who are STARS, Skilled Through Alternative Routes
Overview of the webinar
When the demand for talent outreaches supply, employers often de-emphasize degrees and other qualifications. That became noticeable during the tight employment market of the late 2010s. Between 2017 and 2019, employers reduced degree requirements for 46% of middle-skill positions and 31% of high-skill positions. Among the jobs most affected were those in IT and managerial occupations, which were hard to fill during that period.
The pandemic has exacerbated this trend. This reset in evaluating job applicants causes employers to suspend or eliminate the requirement of a college degree as a “must-have” and instead favor hiring on the basis of demonstrated skills and competencies.
This shift to skills-based hiring will open opportunities to a large population of potential employees who in recent years have often been excluded from consideration because of degree inflation. This population includes potential employees that may help employers meet their diversity goals.
Another advantage to skills-based hiring is the use of competencies, those skills that are actually required for job success rather than more generic requirements like a college degree.
This webinar will review the methods of skills-based hiring and the advantages to employers to using these methods.

Why should you attend?
The Applicant Tracking System fundamentally changed how we recruit. The next phase of using technology to assist us in recruiting is artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence is transforming the labor market, automating certain jobs, and creating entirely new jobs requiring new in-demand skills. As the adaption of technology has changed the face of jobs and job content, AI usage has been and will continue to create a range of new jobs between now and 2030, many focused on humans working seamlessly with machines.
Being able to demonstrate one’s competency in these new skills has become the currency for talent mobility, as degrees have shown to be a bad proxy for possessing in-demand skills. In fact, Glassdoor tells us that a range of firms is offering well-paying jobs to those possessing in-demand skills, but lacking a degree.
More companies are using 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. Skills-based hiring expands the prospective talent pool but also allows internal employees opportunities greater visibility into their career mobility by providing them with educational pathways for specific industries and job functions.
