There’s been a lot of debate recently about whether AI changes what we need to select for, to predict candidate success. But the reality is that most companies have needed to reframe how they select for quite some time.

At the end of 2022, Arctic Shores’ Senior Psychometrician Luke Montouri and Senior Applied Psychologist Sanchia Dennis set out to review a huge data set with one key objective –– to understand which skills, competencies, and behaviours would be most predictive of candidate success in the “future of work”. And to establish how psychometric assessment measures would need to evolve to select for them.

What they uncovered is as true today as it was back in 2022 – and the advancement of Generative AI has made it even more urgent for talent acquisition teams to rethink how they select.

In this episode, Luke and Sanchia join Robert to unpack the research and science they used to update the Arctic Shores assessment model, and the wider implications of their findings for TA teams. Listen to learn:

📊 What the three factors most predictive of success in an AI-enabled workplace are –– according to an extensive analysis of data from the likes of McKinsey and the World Economic Forum; customer competency frameworks; and a decade’s worth of data-informed by 3 million candidate assessments (including subsequent workplace performance)

💡 Why evaluating Skill-enablers™ –– the core human traits that inform our ability to acquire new skills, navigate change, and adapt –– is (mostly) mission-critical for any employer from today. And when you might not want to evaluate a candidate’s Skill-enablers™

🚀 A deep dive into what the Skill-enabler™ model is – and why evaluating traits that go beyond technical capabilities to assess interpersonal abilities, self-management, and decision-making is essential in the age of the AI-enabled workplace

🔍 And why we need to move beyond the traditional five-factor model to unlock new ways to understand and assess potential –– plus insights into why we need to rethink how we measure cognitive ability (and the issues with traditional approaches)

Dive in to understand more about the data that is shaping the future of talent acquisition and how organisations’ should be thinking about identifying high-potential candidates in a fast-changing world.
