Upskilling CV Evaluation: Promoting the Skills-First Shift...   We’re currently witnessing a global transformation in hiring methodology: more and more companies are switching to a skills-first hiring process.   This approach puts greater emphasis on the value of the CV/resume’s terminology, along with potential transferable skills, both technical and soft; skills-first hiring doesn’t fixate on the academic merit of a job applicant, such as having a bachelor’s degree.   We already know the benefits of this approach to hiring, such as increasing the female talent pool, diversifying generation demographics, and promoting occupational longevity. (LinkedIn Economic Graph, 2023).   Time Dismantles Talent - Upskilling the CV Evaluation Process:   Empowering and training those responsible for the initial CV-review contributes to a faster and more efficient hiring process. Time delays, such as confirming an applicant’s technical competency with a manager, contributes to missing out on top-notch talent!   Please get in touch to find out more on upskilling hiring practices, and how you can shift to skills-first! #skillsfirst #hiring #technology #x4technology

Key Words Open Key Doors... We’re currently witnessing a global transformation in hiring methodology: more and more companies are switching to a skills-first hiring process.   This approach puts greater emphasis on the value of the CV/resume’s terminology, along with potential transferable skills, both technical and soft; skills-first hiring doesn’t fixate on the academic merit of a job applicant, such as having a bachelor’s degree.   We already know the benefits of this approach to hiring, such as increasing the female talent pool, diversifying generation demographics, and promoting occupational longevity. (LinkedIn Economic Graph, 2023).   Key-Words' Role in Shifting to Skill-First Hiring:   For companies, the adoption of a clear, consistent, and Keyword-led job description, dissimilar to the description of your company’s other openings will improve applicant compatibility.   For applicants, terminology can be everything. Tailoring your CV to the description is nothing new, however, it’s important to emphasize any previous work experience’s transferability through keywords, and market-specific terms.   Please get in touch to find out more on up-skilling hiring practices using terminology! #skillsfirst #hiring #technology #x4technology
