The term “skills-first” is increasingly used by a wide range of organizations across the private and public sector to describe a new approach to talent management that emphasizes a person’s skills and competencies – rather than degrees, job histories or job titles – with regard to attracting, hiring, developing and redeploying talent.
By focusing directly on skills themselves, rather than on how they have been acquired, a skills-first approach has the potential to democratize access to economic opportunities and pathways to good jobs for many more people than traditional approaches have done. For employers, a skills-first approach can create more robust talent pipelines – and may help to address skills shortages.
