A growing number of employers are adopting a new hiring practice that focuses on the skills of a job seeker or employee, rather than simply one’s degree. According to a 2022 workforce report, 76 percent of employers use skills-based hiring to find new talent, with 55 percent using role-specific skills tests.
Evidence is accumulating that skills-based hiring works. It widens the pool of well-qualified candidates in often tight labor markets, increases the quality and diversity of hiring, and results in increased performance and employee retention.
