Getting Started With Skills-Based Hiring

The Future of Work Exchange has frequently discussed the advent of the skills-based organization, and rightfully so: Ardent Partners and Future of Work Exchange research finds that 73% of businesses currently face a critical challenge in the months ahead: a lack of candidates with the required skillsets for open positions. This is yet another representation of why the skills-based organization (SBO) is a true opportunity to, essentially, reimagine the ways they think about talent acquisition and the role of talent in getting work done.

The foundational elements of the skills-based organization revolve around the concepts of rethinking the parallels between talent and work; thus, the very future of the skills-based organization depends on forward-thinking strategies, ideas, and, of course, technology. And it all begins with skills-based hiring.

I’m excited to join my friend and fellow Future of Work expert Mark Brodsky on an exclusive Q&A panel discussion on Wednesday, March 15 at 11am ET. The staffing and recruitment expert panel, hosted by innovative skills intelligence platform Glider AI, will address:

  • Migrating from a job-based to a skills-based hiring strategy.
  • How to identify the required skills.
  • How to assess candidate skills.
  • Evaluating skills-based hiring tools and AI.
  • Uncovering hidden skills from current employees.
  • Securing executive and finance stakeholder alignment.

Next week’s event will also feature some brand new Future of Work Exchange research and statistics that will illuminate the criticality of the skills-based organization and its role in the evolving world of talent and work. Join us!

It’s Time to Reimagine the Talent Supply Chain

The extended workforce has become an agile means of thriving in today’s hyper-competitive, globalized business arena. Over the past 15 years, the growth and utilization of this workforce has been steadily rising, proving that when enterprises need to adapt to an evolving business climate, or when they need true workforce scalability, this is the type of talent that shines.

However, as the talent supply chain becomes more complex, so does the myriad ways in effectively managing it. Ardent Partners and the Future of Work Exchange are excited to join VMS and workforce solutions platform Prosperix for a complimentary webinar tomorrow (March 1, 1pm ET) that will help attendees unlock the Best-in-Class strategies for managing the evolving talent supply chain as it continues to become more complex.

Omni-Channel Talent Acquisition: The Future of Hiring

Omni-channel talent acquisition is one of the hottest topics in the staffing world today. No longer can enterprises rely on just a handful of talent sources to get work done, especially in a business world that requires them to harness the robust skillsets and expertise of workers across the world. Much like the world of retail in that “omni-channel” outlets integrate different methods of shopping available to consumers, omni-channel talent acquisition translates into the ability for enterprises to leverage various sources of talent to address their needs.

The demand for specialized talent in precise intervals, as well as the ability to tap into vertical-specific channels as a means of staying competitive in an increasingly globalized business arena continues to grow unabated. Digital staffing solutions, such as talent marketplaces and on-demand talent networks, often yield vetted, evaluated, and deeply experienced candidates who can make an immediate impact on corporate operations. In this regard, omni-channel talent acquisition becomes a pathway to true workforce scalability in a time when it is needed most.

Join Ardent Partners’ SVP of Research, Christopher J. Dwyer, as he discusses why omni-channel talent acquisition could become a pathway to true workforce scalability at a time when it is needed most. During this exclusive webcast on Tuesday, February 21 (11am ET), Dwyer will highlight:

  • How omni-channel talent acquisition can impact hiring today…and in the future.
  • Why direct sourcing is a critical and foundational element of omni-channel talent acquisition.
  • Why the omni-channel approach should be a key strategy for HR, extended workforce, and talent acquisition teams in 2023, and;
  • The outlook for hiring in 2023 and how new and innovative strategies, solutions, and technology will shape the world of work ahead.
