Skills-based hiring could be the future—but getting there is no small feat. In a recent webinar, Amy Dearking broke down three critical barriers holding organizations back from fully embracing skills over traditional credentials like education and experience: 1️⃣ Mindset Shift: Many hiring managers are still rooted in a traditional hiring mindset. Shifting these deeply ingrained habits requires thoughtful change management. 2️⃣ Identifying Skills: Without the right tools or expertise, most companies struggle to confidently pinpoint the critical skills that drive success. 3️⃣ Tech Limitations: Today’s HR tools are built on outdated job architecture models, making it hard to track and manage a truly skills-based workforce. At BrightHire, we’re helping bridge the gap by empowering hiring teams with tools that make skills-based hiring not just possible—but practical. From AI-powered insights to structured interview guidance, we make it easier to uncover the skills that matter most, enabling more informed, confident hiring decisions.
