The death of the resume has long been predicted. It is widely acknowledged that they are ineffective and prone to promoting bias, but alternative approaches have yet to achieve universal adoption. However, with many employers moving towards skills and competency-based hiring and technology continuing to drive rapid change in recruiting, are the days of the resume finally numbered?

My guest this week is Maya Huber), Co-Founder and CEO of the competencies-based sourcing platform TaTiO). Maya has a PHD in Job Analysis and some fascinating insights into practical ways of moving on from the resume and making hiring more efficient, inclusive and effective.

  • Skills-based hiring versus competency-based hiring

  • Testing performance in its context

  • Reducing the administrative burden for recruiters
