Skills-based hiring isn't about ignoring experience. It's about recognizing that experience alone doesn't guarantee capability.

I have 3 questions for you

1. Is this more funny or sad?

2. I understand why written communication is important to this role, but how complicated is it to ask to write about something relevant to the job?

3. In the era of generative AI - is it even relevant to assess written communication skills? if a candidate uses GenAI to clearly express themselves, should it matter?

Adam Grant on the importance of "Character Skills"

Watch this video from the world economic forum, where Adam Grant breaks down what "Character" actually means and why it's more important for success than cognitive Skills.

Grant also points out that current job interviews fail to properly assess character skills and potential.. Organizations that don't want to stay behind will have to up their interview game quickly by utilizing methods and tools like skills-based hiring, AI and Interview Intelligence.

Embracing a Skills-Based Future: Insights from PwC's Pioneering Approach

In an era where technological advancements are reshaping the workforce landscape at an unprecedented pace, the focus on skills rather than traditional credentials has never been more crucial. Today I want to spotlight PwC's "New World, New Skills" program, which embodies the essence of a skills-based approach.

PwC is leading by example, committing $3 billion towards upskilling its global workforce, ensuring that its 276,000 employees are equipped to thrive in a digital world. This program not only aims to enhance digital competencies across the board but also to make a measurable impact on PwC's people, clients, and communities by building a more diverse, tech-skilled workforce and fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation.

As we navigate through the digital transformation, the need for skills such as data analytics, artificial intelligence, and robotics process automation becomes increasingly evident. However, PwC's approach goes beyond technical skills, focusing on cultivating a mindset of adaptability, problem-solving, and digital fluency among its workforce.

This strategic focus on upskilling is a clarion call for organizations worldwide to reassess their talent strategies. It's an invitation to shift from traditional hiring practices towards a skills-based model that values capabilities and potential, paving the way for a more inclusive, dynamic, and resilient workforce.

WHAT SKILLS CAN YOU LEARN ABOUT FROM A CANDIDATEโ€™S QUESTIONS IN AN INTERVIEW? GROWTH MINDSET

Interview Questions

Welcome to our 3rd post in this series.

Today we will discuss how can you learn about the candidateโ€™s growth mindset based on their questions in an interview.

Growth mindset is the perception of oneself as a developing entity (vs. a fixed one). The definition of growth mindset usually encapsulates a motivation to grow and develop as a person and as a professional, openness to feedback and learning from others, and introspectiveness.

Questions indicating high growth mindset:

  1. Questions about growth and development opportunities within the role/company.
  2. Asking for feedback about their performance in the interview process.
  3. Asking about the things they will have to learn in order to be successful at the job.

Questions indicating low growth mindset:

  1. Questions that are focused only on the technicalities of the job and on the โ€œhere and nowโ€ (working hours and conditions for example).
  2. When asking about future development their focus is more on status/seniority and less on broadening their skills/knowledge.
  3. Not presenting any questions while being confident that they know all they need to know.
