Barb Hyman says the resume is broken

Hyman says skills will increasingly determine hiring, citing that around two‑thirds of UK organisations have adopted skills‑based hiring and that almost 60 % of candidates are more likely to apply for roles defined by skills rather than qualifications. James Broadhead of Taktile notes that a prototype that once took an engineer three weeks can now be generated in a single afternoon, though the hard part is judging quality.

Other firms, such as PMG, use practical exercises to assess candidates in real‑time. Hyman also warns that while AI can surface diverse talent, the final decision should rest with humans to avoid bias.
