Is your hiring strategy built for the future... or stuck reacting to yesterday?  👀 We collaborated with HR.com on their newest 'Future of Talent Acquisition 2025' study and found that: → Over 50% of hiring is still 'just-in-time'. ⏱️  → Finding candidates with the right skills is the #1 challenge (53%).  → 'Time to Hire' still beats 'Quality of Hire' as the top metric for most (59% vs 44%). If the goal is a strong talent pipeline (like 63% of leaders want!), relying on outdated methods and prioritizing speed won't get us there. Skills-based hiring focuses on verified ability, helping you build quality teams proactively. This focus on speed over substance fuels reactive cycles and overlooks the skills essential for long-term success. Isn't it time our metrics reflected our actual goals (like building robust talent pipelines)? What do you think? Let us know in the comments below. ✍️

"We simply love to hire ourselves." 👥 As our VP of Product, Claudia Baijens, highlights, this is a key reason hiring can feel unfair. This natural tendency to hire 'look-a-likes' means we often miss out on amazing talent just because they don't immediately seem familiar or fit the usual mold. 🪞 Relying only on interviews or resumes lets this bias creep in easily. That's why shifting to objective, skills-based assessments is crucial – it helps level the playing field and find the best person for the job, not just the one who feels most comfortable. What are your thoughts? Have you seen this 'like-hires-like' tendency affect your hiring decisions?
