An Introduction to Skills-Based Hiring

June 6, 2025 8:30 AM - 10:30 AM (EDT)

Description

Event is open to Chamber members and nonmembers.

Tired of job postings that attract the wrong candidates—or losing strong talent because of rigid hiring requirements? It’s time to rethink your strategy.

Join us for an eye-opening introduction to Skills-Based Hiring—a forward-thinking approach that focuses on what candidates can do, not just where they’ve been.

In this hands-on session, you’ll:
✅ Learn why traditional hiring methods often fall short
✅ Get practical tools that expand how you connect with the candidates you need
✅ Understand how to evaluate candidates more inclusively and effectively
✅ Explore ways to integrate skills-based practices into your hiring pipeline—from job descriptions to interviews

Why this matters: Skills-based hiring isn’t just a trend—it’s a proven method for filling roles faster, reducing bias, and opening doors to untapped talent. It helps businesses grow while building a stronger, more inclusive workforce.

Whether you're looking to improve retention, widen your talent pool, or simply hire better—this session is your starting point.
