Many hiring practices are still built around fixed job descriptions, linear career paths, formal credentials and experience with tools that may soon become outdated. This session challenges People leaders to reconsider how roles are designed, which qualifications truly matter and how to identify candidates who can succeed as work continues to change. Through five future-relevant capabilities, the session will explore how organizations can move beyond pedigree and experience to hire for adaptability, judgment, learning agility and long-term potential.
You’ll learn how to:
- Reassess roles, job requirements, and credentials based on the work the organization will need—not simply how the job has been done before.
- Identify five durable capabilities that may be more predictive of future success than industry experience, formal education or familiarity with current tools.
- Redesign sourcing, interviews and assessments to recognize transferable skills, unconventional career paths and candidates with the capacity to grow.
