(9/21) Few New Hires Have the Skills Needed for the Job, Survey Shows

By Joanne Kaldy / September 21, 2020

According to a new analysis, job roles may require up to 10 new skills by 2021; and the current environment – including economic instability due to the pandemic – has made traditional talent pools less viable for source talent. As a result, employers are rethinking how to best get work done and what skills their workers will need in this new normal; and they are making some changes to recruiting functions:

  • Defining talent needs by prioritizing skills instead of hiring profiles.
  • Uncovering the total skills market instead of targeting known talent pools.
  • Creating responsive EVPs, not just responsive candidates.
  • Leveraging HR partnerships to map future needs.
  • Recruiters and employers working together on how to best align job strategy with organization-wide objectives.

The analysis authors say, “The best recruiting functions that excel in these workforce-shaping behaviors see a 24% increase in quality of hire. High-quality talent can have a significant impact on business outcomes, including individuals who successfully perform in their roles 20% faster and teams that get a 19% boost in their ability to meet future challenges.”
