Season 2 Episode 3: Making Skills-Based Hires in 2021 & Beyond ft. Melissa Baldoni & Elsie Ng

When it comes to skills-based hiring, we look at skills, performance & results instead of schools, pedigree and requirements. It’s about weighing a candidate’s competencies over their credentials. 

In this episode, we are joined by Melissa Baldoni (Head of Talent Acquisition at LinkedIn) and Elsie Ng (Head of Talent Solutions, Singapore at LinkedIn) as they share their unique perspectives on the reasons why skills-based hiring is here to stay in the new world of work and the business impact it can have for organisations. Hosted by Edric Lin (Key Account Director, LinkedIn).

Skills Path brings together LinkedIn Learning courses with Skill Assessments to help recruiters evaluate candidates in a more equitable way — based on their proven skills. Hiring practices have long depended on traditional candidate qualifications like degrees, title, and their network to discover candidates. With Skills Path, that changes.
