About

Employers’ increasingly need to hire people who are skilled at processing information, making informed decisions, adapting to change and updating technical skills. As businesses pivot to meet market demands such as net zero targets, and generative artificial intelligence (AI) becomes ever more integrated into the world of work, we’re already seeing a steep increase in demand for these core skills. At the same time, employers are struggling to upskill the workforce to keep pace with demand. Could skills-based hiring be one key part to solving this problem?

This webinar, which is brought to you in partnership with workforce data insights provider SHL, sees expert panellists:

• identify the industries with the most concerning skills gaps
• understand how industry-focused skills mapping could help plug those gaps
• address the pros and cons of skills-based hiring
