Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Recruiting Practices
Skill-Based Screening
Evaluating candidates by concrete, job-relevant tasks and work samples instead of résumé signals like schools or job titles.
"I want to know what someone can actually do — not guess from their résumé."
Skill-based screening uses short, standardized assessments or real-work samples that mirror key job tasks so hiring decisions rely on observable ability rather than résumé proxies. It reduces bias by focusing on performance and provides clearer, comparable evidence across candidates.
