From Checklists to Chaos: The Death of Skills-Based Hiring
Skills-based hiring was once the rebel of recruitment. It tore down degree snobbery, broke open new talent pools, and promised a fairer future of work.
But in Workforce 5.0, it’s already obsolete. In this episode of Edan Haddock – Total Talent, Edan rips into the myth of skills-based hiring, explains why static skills frameworks don’t survive in a world of AI and fluid roles, and lays out his theory: the future belongs to adaptability, fluid role design, and tech that amplifies human creativity. Expect rants, raw truths, and zero corporate fluff.
If you’re still worshipping skills lists, it’s time to wake up.
