Skills-Based Hiring,
For Real This Time.
AI finally makes it technically possible. So why is adoption still stuck?
A Fastr.ai Executive Roundtable
Six years of decks, vendor demos, and town-hall promises later, fewer than 1 in 5 enterprises have actually moved past degree-and-keyword hiring. The technology is no longer the blocker. The blockers are the ATS rails recruiters trust, the leveling and comp systems built on JDs, and the hiring managers who still scan for school name first. This roundtable brings together senior People leaders for a candid, off-the-record conversation about what it actually takes to close the gap.
Who’s in the Room?
CHROs and Chief People Officers
VPs of Talent Acquisition
Heads of Recruiting Ops
The Conversation
3-person panel kickoff (25 min). Open group discussion (45 min).
Panel Kickoff – Question 1
Where in your hiring process is “skills” still a marketing word, and where is it real?
Question 2
Think of your best hire of the last 12 months. Would your current screening process catch them today?
Question 3
How much of your skills-based hiring is coming from cold external sources vs. candidates who already engaged with your company? And which group actually stays longer?
