Technical Skills Are More Than A Portfolio Builder With Danny Abdo of Skillable

Imagine a world where technologists are evaluated based on real-time skill performance, rather than static resumes. We've got Danny Abdo, CEO of Skillable, who dares to make this a reality. Danny introduces us to an innovative platform that’s revolutionizing the realm of technical skill testing. Skillable, through hands-on experiences, places tech-savvies in real-life scenarios providing immediate feedback. Danny also opens a conversation around the concept of a skills portfolio and the importance of recognizing transferable skills, extending beyond the conventional tech sphere.<br/><br/>The plot thickens as we delve into the domain of skills-based hiring and career development. We investigate the importance of understanding and evaluating individual physical, soft, and hard skills. We also shine light on the challenge of how to bridge the gap between hiring for new technical skills and the lack of experience in those skills. The idea of skills intelligence is probed as a potential game changer for organizations transitioning to a skills-centric approach. As we approach the end of our chat, we discuss the future of hiring and how technology can remove bias, make outcomes more measurable and contribute to strategic plans for upskilling and reskilling. Come join us on this journey that rethinks hiring, skills and career development.<br/>Listen & Subscribe on your favorite platform<br/>Apple | Spotify | Google | Amazon<br/><br/>Visit us at RecruitingDaily for all of your recruiting, sourcing, and HR content.<br/>Follow on Twitter @RecruitingDaily <br/>Attend one of our #HRTX Events
