The Rise and Fall of Hiring for Skills Over Experience 2023: The Year of Skills --Articles galore championing the virtues of skills-based hiring. --Businesses lauded for their forward-thinking approaches. --A dynamic shift from traditional experience markers to skills and capabilities. 2024: The Return to Experience --A noticeable decline in the skills-over-experience rhetoric. --Informal discussions reveal a preference for the tried and tested.
