Skills-based hiring for employee retention & talent acquisition

Traditional methods of talent acquisition and employee retention were designed for a bygone era – not for large-scale shifts that we are witnessing in today’s workplace.

The million-dollar question is: 

How can business leaders design a future of work strategy that recruits and retains top-quality talent?

Economic uncertainty, rapid digital transformation, and sudden societal shifts have made tried-and-tested HR strategies obsolete when it comes to employee retention and talent acquisition.
