About the Event
The HR Virtual Roundtable is a monthly opportunity for CPHR Alberta members to connect with other members and discuss current and/or emerging HR topics.
In this structured conversation, participants will be split into smaller breakout groups, offering members quality time to discuss topic questions, network with one another, share ideas and perspectives, receive support, and inspiration. It goes without saying that confidentiality and the willingness to share are key to the success of this event.
For the November HR Roundtable, we will focus on Skills-Based Hiring.
One definition: “Skills-based hiring is a recruitment approach that prioritizes candidates’ skills, competencies, and relevant experiences over other factors such as educational background or cultural fit”.

80% of Canadian companies used skills-based hiring in 2024. This compares to 74% in 2023. Another interesting statistic is that 90% of employers using skills-based hiring have seen a reduction in mis-hires.

The discussion questions to consider:
1. Please share your thoughts on a skills-based hiring approach compared to more traditional approaches.
2. Has your organization moved to more of a skills-based hiring approach? If so, what are some of the reasons?
3. What are some of the benefits you have personally experienced with a skills-based hiring approach?
