LinkedIn has introduced a scheme in Singapore that aims to match a jobseeker’s skillsets to available roles, rather than previous experience. The pilot encompasses a skills assessment tool and covers six job categories, including data analysts and supply chain management.
Called Skills Path, the programme was designed to help hiring managers identify core skills needed for a new job vacancy and give candidates a “fairer shot” at these roles, LinkedIn’s Asia-Pacific managing director Feon Ang, said in a post Saturday.
The programme comprises a multiple-choice LinkedIn Skill Assessment as well as a video or written assessment that candidates take. If they pass the assessments, they will be slotted to speak with the recruiter. Under Skills Path, candidates also have free access to courses under LinkedIn Learning, so they can plug any skills gaps required for the role.
