A NEW CONVERSATION ON:Authored by: Madeline Laurano Brought to you by:2Over the past five years, skills-based hiring has been at the center of TA transformation. Companies are doubling down on everything related to skills and the rapid advancements in AI has accelerated the need for skills-based hiring.Skills-based hiring has never had more urgency. Yet, the discussions around skills have not progressed much over the past few years. We found that 1 in 2 companies are facing fatigue or frustration with the skills conversation today.
