Take on Tomorrow

Is talent hiding in plain sight?

Today’s CEOs face a daunting dilemma: too many open jobs, and not enough of the right workers to fill them. In this episode, hosts Lizzie and Ayesha are joined by LinkedIn VP Aneesh Raman and PwC’s Global Workforce Leader, Peter Brown, who suggest an innovative solution to workforce gaps: skills-first hiring. By focusing on skills in addition to employment history and academic credentials, Aneesh and Peter reveal a game-changing approach for businesses of all sizes to identify and utilize their untapped talent—plus practical starting points for implementation.
