Why hiring on evidence is gaining ground

The shift

One in four Australian employers now prioritise demonstrated skills over career history and education, and most of the rest give the two equal weight.

The problem

Australian employers who struggle to fill roles most often attribute it to a shortage of applicants with the skills and experience the role needs, not to a shortage of applicants.

The outcome

Employers already using skills-based hiring overwhelmingly report benefits, most often clearer criteria for assessing candidates and a better read on ability before interview.
