We all know the world of hiring is broken.

In a world obsessed with the perfect pitch, resumes have become more focused on who you know and where you’ve studied, and less about who you are and what you can actually do.

We’re here to change that. We want to put talent and possibility into everyone’s hands. 🌍

2004 vs 2024: A workplace revolution

The old rules no longer apply.

What's changed?

Fixed hours ➡️ Flexible schedules
Office-bound ➡️ Work from anywhere
Rigid roles ➡️ Fluid responsibilities

But the biggest shift?

How we value and acquire talent. 🌟

Skills-based hiring is the cornerstone of this new era.

It's about:

- What you can do, not where you've been
- How you think, not what you've memorized
- Your potential, not your pedigree

5 reasons to adopt skills-based hiring now:

1. Tap into hidden talent pools
2. Increase workforce diversity
3. Improve job performance
4. Enhance employee satisfaction
5. Future-proof your organization

The future of work is skills-centric. 🛠️

Is your hiring strategy keeping up? 🚀

Fancy degrees may impress, but real skills hit the target every time. 🎯

📢 In today's edition of #CutTheBS, we dig into SHRM's decision to ditch ‘equity’ from their DE&I framework. 

We'll cover the reasons behind this move, the broader implications of this shift, and share our take on why we believe true inclusion can't exist without equity. 

💡What's your take on SHRM's decision? Do you think inclusion is possible without equity? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

At TestGorilla, we're saying goodbye to “company values.”⁠
⁠
Why?⁠
⁠
Because companies can't have values. People do. ⁠
⁠
What works instead? Behaviors.⁠
⁠
Think:

"Raise the bar"
"Own it"
"Think big"

Not:

"Integrity"
"Excellence"
"Innovation"

Behaviors can be:

- Measured
- Coached
- Improved

But here's the key:⁠
⁠
We're not abandoning our core principles.⁠
Our former values still describe us as a team.⁠
They're the foundation we build on.⁠
⁠
Our new approach?⁠
⁠
We come as we are, connected by our mission and vision, united by shared behaviors. 🦍❤️⁠
⁠
Stop asking about abstract values.⁠
Start looking for concrete behaviors.⁠
⁠
📌 Want the full story?⁠

Our CEO, Wouter Durville, covered this and more on The Leadership Podcast with the incredible Niels Brabandt.⁠

Resumes tell a story.

But they don't tell the whole story.

The best candidates often hide between the lines:

- The self-taught coder without a CS degree
- The natural leader who hasn't managed a team
- The problem-solver with unconventional experience

Skills-based hiring sees what traditional methods miss. 🔍

It looks beyond the surface.

Digs deeper.

Finds the diamonds in the rough. 💎

Because great talent doesn't always come in a traditional package.

Sometimes, it comes with grit, passion, and raw potential.

Are you ready to look beyond the resume?
To focus on the person behind the paper?

That's where the real magic happens. 

That's how you build extraordinary teams. 🚀
