Brainfood Live On Air - Ep262 - Skill Based Hiring - A Conversation with Johnny Campbell, CEO of Social Talent

SKILL BASED HIRING: A CONVERSATION WITH JOHNNY CAMPBELL   One of the first people to really break down to task and activity level was Johnny Campbell. As CEO of market leading hiring training company SocialTalent, his taxonomy of the skills required by a recruiter to perform in their work remains a canonical artefact in the world of talent acquisition to this day.   This is why I was excited to get a DM from Johnny on the topic of Skill Based Hiring - in particular, why we might have cause to pause in our charge to implement a concept which requires greater understanding, definition and modelling before put into the workplace.   We are shifting gears in today's Brainfood Live - instead of a panel, we are going to critically but fairly examine Skill Based Hiring in a 1-2-1 conversation. Expect the following topics to be covered:   - How to define skills that need to hired? - How to identify those skills pre-assessment - How to effectively and fairly assess for those skills, in a scalable way - What is the expected outcome of SBH hiring done well? Do we have any examples of this? - Is downgrading credentialism risking the downgrading of valuable experience? - Do we expect greater workforce diversity with Skill Based Hiring? What we do not get this result? - Where does Skills Based Hiring need to get to before it becomes viable?         Ep262 is sponsored by our buddies Social Talent   SocialTalent is the world’s leading e-learning platform dedicated to hiring and talent management.
