The Rise Of Skills Based Hiring Over Traditional Resumes

  Based on 15+ years in hiring and   HR technology , I’ve seen resumes lose relevance. Skills-based hiring is emerging as the most reliable way to predict performance, reduce bias, and build future-ready teams. What skills-based hiring looks like in practice? In practice, skills-based hiring means evaluating candidates on what they can do—not where they studied, which companies they worked for, or how polished their resumes look. When organizations hire this way, they stop inferring capability from credentials and start validating it directly. I’ve seen this shift dramatically expand talent pools, improve hiring confidence, and reduce second-guessing after offers are made. Simply put, when skills are measured, hiring becomes less speculative and more intentional. Why resumes stopped being reliable signals Traditional hiring practices relied heavily on resumes. Initially used by skilled workers to show their expertise to companies, it has now been reduced to a formalized docume...

The Role of Chatbots in the Future of Talent Acquisition

  The future of hiring is being reshaped by Conversational AI and Chatbots as organizations move toward faster more adaptive and more human centric recruitment models. Traditional hiring processes built around static applications and manual screening are struggling to meet modern expectations. In 2026 conversational systems are no longer supporting tools but active participants in how talent is discovered evaluated and engaged. The Evolution of Hiring Conversations Hiring has shifted from form driven interactions to dialogue driven experiences. Conversational AI and Chatbots enable real time two way communication between candidates and employers from the first point of contact. Instead of filling lengthy forms candidates can express intent ask questions and receive guidance instantly. This conversational layer reduces friction and aligns hiring with how people naturally communicate. How Conversational AI and Chatbots Redefine Candidate Experience Modern candidates expect speed clar...

Observing the System in Motion Through New Year Rituals

Image
  For me, the time between   Christmas   and New Year’s isn’t about fully unplugging, nor is it about scheduling formal reflection sessions. It’s about paying attention. This period creates a natural shift in pace, and that shift is revealing. It shows whether priorities are clear enough to hold without constant reinforcement, whether teams feel confident making decisions independently, and whether progress continues without relying on individual heroics. In other words, it shows whether the organization is actually built to scale. I use this time to observe patterns rather than outcomes. Where does work continue smoothly? Where does friction appear when fewer people are around? Which processes feel resilient, and which ones quietly depend on someone always being “on”? This kind of reflection doesn’t require silence or isolation. It happens while the organization is still moving — just at a slightly different rhythm. There’s also something important that emerges during th...

Achieving Human Centric Workplaces in the Age of AI for Modern Organizations

Image
  As  artificial intelligence  continues to reshape the workplace, its influence is expanding well beyond productivity tools and task automation. In fact, employees that reported using AI in their role a few times a year or more jumped  from 21% to 40% over the past two years.   Heading into 2026, AI is increasingly tied to how workplaces remain functional under pressures like aging infrastructure and tightening budgets. While use cases for AI continue to expand, leaders must prioritize flexible workplace design that keeps human needs at the center to ensure employee satisfaction and productivity. Humans At the Center A human-centric workplace prioritizes human needs including employee well-being, purpose, and connection as the foundation of the work experience. Technology is meant to support human value, not replace it.  AI, when implemented properly, can help eliminate friction from daily work, automate repetitive tasks, deliver insights that improve deci...
