Opening pandora’s box on skills-based hiring: reframing our understanding of skills, what to evaluate instead, and two views on whether GenAI makes self-assessment problematic | With Ben Williams of Sten10
Description
What happens when you bring together two veterans of the psychometric assessment industry?
The headlines: some very strongly aligned views and some opposing ones.
This week, Robert is speaking to Ben Williams –– a Chartered Psychologist and Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society with almost two and a half decades of experience in the assessment industry, and the Founder and Managing Director of Sten10 ––a specialist assessment consultancy working with the likes of The Telegraph, and Deloitte.
Join Robert and Ben for the latest episode of the TA Disruptors podcast as they debate…
💡The difference between skills, personality, behaviour, knowledge, competence, and motivation… and how to evaluate each effectively in the selection process
💥Why so many skills-based hiring processes open up a pandora’s box and unleash a web of complexity so challenging to unpick that implementing skills-based hiring feels impossible… and how to simplify your thinking around what good looks like
🔥What skill-enablers are and why evaluating them is mission critical if you want to guarantee you’re hiring fresh talent who will be able to continuously adapt, grow, and acquire new skills
📜 The best alternatives to CV-based hiring, and how to ensure that you don’t accidentally equate skills for experience or re-introduce bias to your process having worked so hard to root it out
🤖 Two sides of the argument on whether self-assessment is problematic in the era of the AI-enabled candidate, the challenge of avoiding addressing the issue, and why emerging and easily accessible tech stands to exacerbate it
✨How to embrace new technology –– depending on whether your organisation is full of pioneers or you have work to do in convincing them to do something differently
