Tapping the Potential of the “UnLinked Population”
Description:
Employers are on the hunt for untapped talent to close skill and equity gaps—but those hidden gems may not have traditional credentials or LinkedIn profiles. Efforts to find “unLinked” talent are giving rise to new hiring methods, from simulations reminiscent of The Last Starfighter to micro credentials in passion fields like fashion and sneaker design. This panel will explore revolutionary hiring strategies being used to bypass social networks and harness the creativity of the whole workforce.
