Skills-based hiring means looking at talent acquisition from a different perspective. Traditional hiring prioritizes accomplishments and education over proved abilities, and it’s often much too near-sighted. As people find new avenues for learning and developing their talents, skills-based hiring levels the field for applicants and helps companies focus on getting more effective talent in a faster and easier way.

As the world gets back to normal after the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies have undergone a digital transformation and are looking for better processes to hire employees. More and more companies are turning to AI to supercharge their hiring process. 

Many companies make bold claims about what their product or service can do, but few can articulate why it matters. Emmersion proves language ability. So what? Emmersion’s mission is to close the global communication gap by proving the language ability of job applicants and learners. In the global economy, it’s becoming more and more important to prove competencies in order to gain access to opportunities.

At Emmersion, we are all about the data backing our solution. Our mission is to close the global communication gap. One of the main methods we accomplish this is by providing actionable data to our clients.

When I consider an enterprise software solution, I like to match up the features from each consideration. Sometimes I learn about important features that weren’t originally in my consideration set. Once I have a solid understanding of what I am looking for, I proceed to evaluate firms with the options that I need and eliminate firms that are not capable of delivering on my needs.

Many contact centers are in a constant state of turnover and hiring. Either as a result of growth and success or poor recruiting for call centers and other outsourced positions and jobs. High turnover or high growth can put a significant strain on the organization.

This week’s post will be a little self indulgent. I hate the “sorry not sorry” card but I’m going to play it anyway. The Emmersion team crossed an important milestone a couple weeks ago as we leveled up our automated English speaking assessment, and it became the FIRST-ever, fully adaptive automated speaking assessment. It has been a great privilege to work with the brilliant minds that have made this vision a reality, and it is a credit to the persistence of the visionary who carried the seeds, tilled the soil, and nurtured it to fruition. You can hear from the brains behind it all, Dr. Jacob Burdis, here.

Inability to staff appropriately with the right language skills and in a timely fashion results in loss of business. Losing good talent because of lack of management support and inability to communicate in the employees’ language costs a company in the long run.
