Perspectives: The Skills Reckoning
Why job titles are losing their grip – and what smart HR leaders are building instead
Job titles made sense when roles were stable. That world is dissolving fast. AI is absorbing the routine core of dozens of jobs, cross-functional work is now the norm, and your people have capabilities their job descriptions never anticipated.
Meanwhile, hiring by credentials alone is breaking down: you get hundreds of qualified-on-paper applicants and still can’t find the right fit, while hidden talent inside your own walls goes unmapped and unused. Skills-based hiring is no longer a pilot program – it is becoming standard practice, and HR is the one being asked to lead the way.
In this Perspectives session, Matt Poepsel, PhD and our panel will share how real organizations are inventorying skills, hiring for capability, and building internal mobility, without a multi-year transformation project.
Attend this webinar to:
- Map the skills your workforce actually has, not just the roles on paper.
- Shift hiring from credential-matching to capability-based evaluation.
- Build an internal mobility program that surfaces hidden talent.
- Connect skills strategy to business outcomes the rest of the C-suite will buy into.
- Identify roles most vulnerable to AI, and build reskilling paths early.

Perspectives: Startup Speed, Established Company | How Strategic HR Leaders are closing the gap
Your CEO wants startup speed. Your people need stability. You’re the one holding both. You’re not a startup. You have an existing workforce, compliance requirements, and a culture worth protecting. But the pressure to move fast isn’t going away, and “we’re too big for that” isn’t an answer your business will accept for long. The…
