In this episode, we explore a skills-first approach to talent recruitment and development.  Kate O'Sullivan, Senior Director of EU Public Policy and the Economic Graph at LinkedIn, explains the benefits to organisations and society more broadly in moving to a skills-first strategy. This is where companies hire and promote talent based on their skills rather than their job title or what school they attended. 

Kate shares significant statistics on how a skills-first strategy can create a more diverse and inclusive workforce. She also does a deeper dive into the statistics for women in leadership and unpacks the story these statistics tell us about the Irish workplace today.
