hiring is an approach to talent acquisition that evaluates candidates based on their skills rather than their education or previous job experience. Hiring strategies based on past achievements are losing relevance because technology and job roles are evolving rapidly. Therefore, a skills-based hiring approach allows organizations to broaden their talent pool and align the best-fit candidates to the right roles more flexibly.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"what-are-skills\">What are skills?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">At Talogy, we define skills as learned, applied abilities required to complete a task. Those abilities may include both job-specific skills and transferable skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Job-specific skills<\/strong> <strong>(also called \u2018hard skills\u2019)<\/strong> are specialized areas of technical expertise and knowledge needed to perform functional tasks effectively, like coding, graphic design, or accounting. They are typically learned through specific training and on-the-job practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Transferable skills (also called \u2018soft skills\u2019)<\/strong> are skills that are important for successful performance across many different roles. They often relate to personal productivity and working effectively with others. Examples include time management, showing empathy, or networking. They are influenced by an individual\u2019s personality, ability, motivation, and values, and are often developed through work and life experience rather than specific training.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide tal-content-icon-list has-black-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-top:4.5rem;padding-bottom:4.5rem\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-65e523f9 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-xxl-font-size wp-elements-d6328bb7387cbcc7e83c03df071330ab\" style=\"line-height:1.2\"><strong>Discover the brightest early career professionals and shape your future workforce<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-500-color has-text-color has-link-color has-s-font-size wp-elements-8ed4a792407b4fc348ea6334c0ef9eee\" style=\"line-height:1.5\">The next generation&#8217;s needs have shifted and are expected to continue evolving rapidly.

Our Model of Skills-Powered Performance is founded on scientific principles of human characteristics and performance at work and centers on the concept of \u2018skill foundations.\u2019 This means candidates or employees have various individual characteristics which will influence how motivated and effective they might be at acquiring specific skills, like personality, <a href=\"\/en\/knowledge-hub\/emotional-intelligence\/\">emotional intelligence<\/a>, and ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"458\" src=\"https:\/\/talogy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Skills-based-hiring-model-RGB_US-1024x458.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-120177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/talogy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Skills-based-hiring-model-RGB_US-1024x458.png 1024w, https:\/\/talogy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Skills-based-hiring-model-RGB_US-300x134.png 300w, https:\/\/talogy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Skills-based-hiring-model-RGB_US-768x344.png 768w, https:\/\/talogy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Skills-based-hiring-model-RGB_US-1536x687.png 1536w, https:\/\/talogy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Skills-based-hiring-model-RGB_US-2048x916.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"FAQs\"><strong>Skills-Based Hiring: Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1745258620541\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is the difference between competencies and skills?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The lack of consistency in defining \u2018what is a skill\u2019 in our market makes this question difficult to answer. Both competencies and skills focus on behaviors that impact successful role execution, but there are three key differences between them:<br\/>1. <strong>Skills are typically more specific and task-focused compared to competencies<\/strong>, highlighting the practical abilities needed to perform particular work tasks. Competencies are broader and often relate to a combination of personality, attitude, ability, and approach<br\/>2. <strong>Skills can relate to both the technical aspects (job-specific skills) and behavioral aspects (transferable skills) of a role<\/strong>, while competencies generally tend to concentrate only on the latter<br\/>3. <strong>Skills can be developed through training, coaching, and deliberate practice.<\/strong> Competencies can also be developed, but because some competencies are often influenced by a person\u2019s personality and values, they may require a fundamental shift in an individual\u2019s mindset.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757430063852\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is the difference between role based and skills based hiring?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Role-based hiring focuses on filling specific job positions with candidates whose experience and educational qualifications match the criteria for those specific roles. In comparison, a skills based talent strategy in hiring moves away from a candidate\u2019s experience and qualifications and instead focuses on the candidate. Skills-based hiring revolves around understanding a candidate\u2019s abilities, competencies, and potential rather than just relying on their CV. In skills-based hiring, there may also be a focus on looking at their fit to multiple roles rather than a single specific job. This approach allows for greater flexibility and agility as organizations respond to change.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757430351822\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Why should organizations focus on skills?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Every organization is different so whether they should focus on skills-based hiring really depends on their processes, culture, and goals. The reason why a skills based talent strategy might be right for an organization is that hiring decisions based largely on pedigree and experience are rapidly losing relevance in a dynamic job market. This means that focusing on who a person is \u2013 not just what they know or what they\u2019ve achieved \u2013 is becoming a more effective approach in a world where jobs change constantly. Skills-based hiring features an agile, dynamic view of individuals which organizations find appealing because it supports future-ready strategies and internal mobility.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757430524572\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How do skills fit into the hiring process?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Adopting a skills-based hiring approach can be easier than you might first think. Competency frameworks and other structured hiring processes, which many organizations already have, are a solid foundation to build upon. Skills can build a layer of detail into your competencies, creating a more dynamic \u2018fit\u2019 profile for current requirements. Many organizations use the opportunity of implementing skills to reduce the impact of experience and qualifications on their hiring decisions. However, it\u2019s the organization that ultimately needs to choose which components factor into their talent decision-making process, depending on its goals.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757430631482\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Why are there so many streams of thought around skills based hiring?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">One challenge with adopting a skills-based talent strategy for hiring is that \u2018skills\u2019 are not always defined clearly. In the past, the word \u2018skill\u2019 was often associated with specific technical capabilities. However, in this new era of skills based hiring, \u2018skills\u2019 are now used very broadly and include a wide range of individual characteristics. For example, some definitions of \u2018skills\u2019 include corporate attitudes, personality, interests, and motivation. Since this can be confusing, it\u2019s critical for organizations to first define and clarify what \u2018skills\u2019 means for them. Only then can they begin to establish a skill-based hiring approach.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757430668661\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How can organizations balance the focus on hard skills and soft skills?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Both hard skills (or \u2018job-specific skills\u2019) and soft skills (or \u2018transferable skills\u2019) are important for the current and future needs of an organization. However, in a world where hard skill requirements are expected to change frequently, soft skills are particularly important. Knowing if someone can do a specific job is only part of the equation. This means that soft skills are more likely to remain relevant over longer periods and throughout people\u2019s careers. So, it\u2019s essential for organizations to understand the following about a candidate to find their best-fit:<br\/>&#8211; How will the candidate perform on the job?<br\/>&#8211; Is the candidate able to grow within the role?<br\/>&#8211; Will the candidate be engaged and invested in the company\u2019s success?<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757430778414\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Should organizations move from measuring competencies to measuring skills?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Organizations that have an established competency framework already have a strong starting point because those frameworks can be adapted for a skills-based approach. Competencies are a useful way to combine related skills together into \u2018skillsets\u2019. These skillsets are an effective way to organize skills into hierarchies within your organization. Measuring competencies also ensures your organization has a holistic view of person specifications for specific roles, which helps consider relevant aspects of work behavior \u2013 such as integrity or change orientation. In our view, a move towards skills based talent management doesn\u2019t mean a move away from competencies. It simply means not prioritizing candidates\u2019 educational achievements and experience during recruitment. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757430816983\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Why is skills-based hiring important for talent management?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Organizations are recognizing that if they focus on people\u2019s skills, rather than their qualifications and experience, they can identify and place talent more effectively to fit changing needs. Skills based hiring also allows organizations to access a broader, more diverse talent pool because they\u2019re not restricted to traditional, fixed career pathways (e.g., degrees).<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757430986937\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How can skills be applied more holistically to create a skills-based talent strategy?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Mapping skills across roles, projects, and career development pathways means organizations can flexibly deploy talent in roles that match their skillsets, instead of deploying people based on their job title or seniority. Similarly, integrating skills data into workforce planning, learning and development, and internal mobility systems can help organizations create a strategy for flexible and future proof skills-based talent management.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757431194360\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is Talogy\u2019s approach to skills based hiring?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Talogy works with you to help you select and develop the right person for your organization by focusing on long-term fit.

Here are four key trends likely to drive the evolution of skills based hiring in the future:<br\/>&#8211; <strong>Powering skills-based hiring through Artificial Intelligence<\/strong>: AI can help to identify skills required for roles, skills held by candidates, and support upskilling suggestions for new hires.<br\/>&#8211; <strong>Multi-role matching<\/strong>: Candidates can be assessed and matched to multiple potential opportunities that fit their skillsets across different organizational functions or departments, which enables organizational agility.<br\/><strong>&#8211;<\/strong> <strong>Identifying skills gaps with analytics<\/strong>: Organizations can build a picture of a team or function\u2019s available skills, using analytics and data dashboards to help identify skills gaps.<br\/>&#8211; <strong>Skills micro-credentialing<\/strong>: There is likely to be more focus on employees obtaining independently verified, digital certifications relating to job-specific and transferable skills.

This means that focusing on who a person is \u2013 not just what they know or what they\u2019ve achieved \u2013 is becoming a more effective approach in a world where jobs change constantly.

However, in this new era of skills based hiring, \u2018skills\u2019 are now used very broadly and include a wide range of individual characteristics. For example, some definitions of \u2018skills\u2019 include corporate attitudes, personality, interests, and motivation.

Measuring competencies also ensures your organization has a holistic view of person specifications for specific roles, which helps consider relevant aspects of work behavior \u2013 such as integrity or change orientation.
