Skills-based hiring? Use the 4P’s!

Still using a job description written by someone else many years ago to recruit people today? Consider skills-based hiring to broaden and build a deeper talent pool, Skills-based hiring is more than technical skills needed for a specific role, a person needs operational, relational and behavioral competencies to be effective in the workflow process. When I work with clients about using skills-based models, I utilize the 4 P’s framework to focus on operational performance and productivity.

In this video, I outline the 4 P’s: Product, Process, Performance and People. Product skills are the role specific technical skills needed to achieve the tasks within a role. Process skills are operational workflow skills used to execute a process efficiently and effectively. Performance includes the network skills needed to build and maintain relationships with internal and external stakeholders, such as colleagues, managers, and clients. People skills are the LifeSkills or behavioral capabilities used to collaborate, communicate, adapt and innovate in a diverse and dynamic environment.

Utilize the 4 P’s framework to build out career pathways and use learning strategically to develop teammates and help the organization achieve its goals and objectives. Interested in learning more about the 4P’s? Click here and choose a 30- or 60-minute session and let’s talk!
