Here’s an extract from the radio:
Tiffany Ang:
You said ( that ) there is a guide to help companies move towards a skills-based hiring approach. But honestly, how many businesses are we seeing now that will get fine, we are looking for a specific skill set, rather than just focusing on the report.
Asher Ling:
I would say it depends on ( the ) industry. Specific skill sets, whether it’s security, AI capabilities, or certain engineering expertise in my fields, are really important within the tech industry, particularly within the limited tech sector.  ,
I have a task director who runs quite large-scale, complex architectural styles. When I first hired him, he came to me with a Higher Nitec (qualification ) and he was a artist.
But he had the necessary abilities. We initially hired him, and therefore we gradually developed him. He therefore earned his certificate, and in his 30s, he went on to earn his degree, which helped him get where he is now in his career.  ,
