Is Skills-First Hiring set to be the future? A recent Forbes article poses this question. Skills-First Hiring is an interview style in which, “employers focus more on getting candidates to demonstrate specific examples of times they have shown a particular skill rather than looking at which degree or university they went to.” Click the link to read advantages, including a more inclusive talent base. The article stated that a resume will still be important in the initial screening process, however, and that certain industries are more suitable to using a skills-first approach than others.

Some of my clients have a high value of autonomy and freedom or flexibility in their careers and understandably seek remote, hybrid, and/or project-based careers that don’t require them to punch a time clock or prevent them from going to a doctor’s appointment, or taking their family member to one, sometimes during the day. Of course, this type of work is more common post-COVID, and I want to share a website specializing in these type of jobs – www.flexjobs.com – as well as a recent article listing companies hiring for remote Project Manager positions. Many technical, online support, and planning or writing-based jobs, including Project Manager, are often posted. Check it out if you’re seeking this kind of work!
