How to Assess and Hire Talent: The Skills-Based Hiring Playbook for the AI Age

July 10, 2025 13:30 – 14:00 · 30 min Stage 12

What this session covers

In an era where generative AI can write the perfect resume for your job description, the traditional methods of identifying top tech (and any) talent are failing. How can you be sure you’re hiring for genuine skill and not wasting your time on just prompt engineering?

The answer lies in a strategic shift you can make easily: moving to a skills-based hiring model.

This session is a practical playbook for HR and Talent Acquisition leaders navigating this new landscape. We will cut through the noise to provide a clear, step-by-step framework for implementing skills-based hiring. You’ll learn how to replace high-volume, low-accuracy resume screens with high-fidelity job simulations that reveal a candidate’s true abilities. We’ll cover how to design assessments that are not only resistant to AI cheating but can also help you identify the candidates who leverage AI as a powerful productivity tool.

Leave this session ready to build a faster, fairer, and more predictive tech (And any other role) hiring process.
