4 min read

Skills-first recruiting went mainstream in 2025. Recent talent intelligence research shows that more than 70% of enterprise TA teams now prioritize skills-based hiring over pedigree. That shift is powered by AI talent intelligence platforms that can synthesize your experience, identify transferable skills, and surface roles you can truly grow into. Here's how JobwayAI is helping candidates win in this new era.

Why Skills-Based Hiring Took Over

• Faster matching: Intelligent skills graphs cut job matching time by highlighting adjacent skills and career paths automatically.
• Fairer sourcing: Skills-first filters widen candidate pools beyond degree requirements or past job titles.
• Real-time upskilling signals: Talent intelligence dashboards track emerging skills so you can pivot before the market saturates.
