Skillfully revolutionizes hiring by using AI-powered, realistic workplace simulations that let candidates demonstrate real skills—not just resumes. This data-driven approach speeds up screening by 50%, cuts costs by 70%, and boosts candidate conversion rates 10x by focusing on proven abilities over paper credentials.
This episode of the SourceForge Podcast features a discussion on the future of hiring with Skillfully, an innovative platform that uses AI-powered simulations to assess candidates’ skills. We speak with Brett Waikart, CEO and co-founder of Skillfully. We discuss how Skillfully allows employers to evaluate candidates based on their actual performance in realistic job simulations, rather than relying on traditional resumes and credentials. This approach helps identify talent that might otherwise be overlooked due to biases in the traditional hiring process. The conversation also touches on the impact of generative AI on job applications, the challenges faced by recruiters, and the importance of focusing on skills and potential rather than pedigree. Brett emphasizes the need for a more accessible and meritocratic workforce, and how Skillfully’s platform aims to achieve that by providing a fairer evaluation of candidates’ abilities.
