According to LinkedIn’s 𝗝𝗼𝗯𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 report, the top roles are not defined by titles or years of experience.

They are defined by 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱-𝘁𝗼-𝗼𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀:

2. 𝗔𝗜 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 & 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁 → Translating AI into business decisions

What do these roles have in common?

They all require 𝗷𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝘀𝘆𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆.

And those are exactly the skills traditional interviews struggle to assess.

For organizations and Talent Acquisition leaders, this has real consequences:

* Prevoius Job titles are no longer predictive

* Experience alone is not a reliable signal

* Interviewer intuition breaks down fastest in complex roles

* Bias and false positives increase as roles evolve

This is why 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆 is becoming a 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲.

At Informed Decisions, we focus on the part of the hiring system most companies ignore:

the interviewers themselves.

We help organizations:

* Define and score job-relevant skills with structure

* Reduce reliance on gut feel and storytelling

* Continuously improve interviewer quality with data and feedback

* Validate interview decisions against post-hire performance and retention

When roles evolve faster than interviewing skills, hiring becomes a gamble.

When interviewers improve continuously, hiring becomes predictable.
