Welcome to this episode of HRadiO, where we will be discussing how organisations are rethinking hiring in a world where roles are evolving faster than ever.

As talent shortages continue and roles evolve quickly, employers are rethinking whether degrees, years of experience, and past job titles are the best indicators of future performance.

In this conversation, Sarah Gideon speaks with Gautam Duggal, an HR leader in the financial services sector, about the growing shift towards skills-based hiring and what it means for organisations in practice.

Rather than focusing primarily on where someone studied or the roles they have held before, the leader affirms that skills-based hiring places greater emphasis on what candidates can actually do, how they solve problems and how their capabilities align with current and future business needs.
