Skills-Based Hiring Is Becoming the New Standard
Globally, 85% of companies now use skills-based hiring tools somewhere in their process, and 65% of them say this is more effective than relying on CVs alone—while 84% of employees say skills tests reduce bias and create fairer opportunities.
CVs and Degrees Are No Longer Enough
Most employers say traditional tools don’t give them the insights they need on candidates' skills. Around 9 in 10 employers in the US and UK report problems with resumes: they struggle to see whether candidates have the right skills, find it hard to rank people, and question how accurate CVs really are. At the same time, 59% of job seekers say they find it difficult to stand out with a resume, and 54% feel overlooked because they don’t have the “right” qualifications or experience.
