The talent marketplace is evolving, reflecting a shift in how we value human work. In the future, the worth of work won't be gauged by productivity alone but rather by its ability to anticipate and shape what's to come. This raises an important question for hiring processes: When assessing a candidate's creativity, critical thinking, and flexibility, are these evaluations based on objective criteria or subjective intuition? Are decisions influenced by past experiences, leading to a constructed narrative about a candidate's future potential?Traditionally, hiring tools and metrics have focused on past achievements and productivity but fall short in predicting future success. This limitation often leaves hiring professionals reliant on their subjective experience to envision a candidate's potential impact. It's an inherent challenge in the current hiring landscape, where the future value of a candidate is as important as their past performance.At The Amplify Lab, we challenge conventional methods by emphasizing the importance of future potential over past productivity, suggesting a more visionary and creative approach to evaluating talent, both the talent you have and the talent you need.We implement potentialist strategies into your practices and with your teams.
