92: Skills-Based Hiring: Looking Beyond Degrees | Felix Tan

Can employers look beyond degrees and hire for what people can actually do? Felix Tan, co-founder of Skilio, joins Adrian Tan to explore skills-based hiring.

In this April 2022 conversation, Felix draws on his experience building an education technology startup and helping young people develop skills for work.

We discuss:
• Why academic qualifications became a hiring filter
• The benefits of evaluating skills
• Whether skills-based hiring applies beyond Gen Z
• Assessing candidates for roles that depend heavily on soft skills
