The Shift from Jobs to Skills
The traditional approach to employment, centered around fixed job descriptions, is increasingly giving way to a focus on skills. As jobs have evolved, descriptions often became bloated, incorporating a wide range of skills and attributes that don’t accurately represent a candidate's potential. This shift is driven by rapid technological advancements and the changing demands of various industries, calling for a more agile workforce adaptable to different roles based on core competencies. Understanding the unique bundle of skills each employee offers enables organizations to effectively redeploy talent, enhancing adaptability and responsiveness.
