Recruiters shift hiring with focus on skill than degrees: LinkedIn
Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the way Indian recruiters are now scouting for talent, with the focus shifting to 'skills' rather than 'degrees'. According to a recent survey by professional networking platform LinkedIn, 78 per cent of recruiters are now prioritising skills over formal qualifications. It noted that this shift of skills-first was being led by global capability centres (GCCs) (85 per cent) and IT firms (71 per cent). 'In this report 'skills first' agenda is moving from theory to execution. This survey shows that 78 per cent of recruiters actually use a skill-first approach,' said Ruchee Anand, head of LinkedIn Talent Solutions, India. Anand said the other reason for this shift is because the templatised hiring process has changed. 'Earlier, when hiring was done, the job description required an MBA, an engineering degree or a post-graduation degree. Now, if an individual has certain skills and they are able to prove it, they get hired. This is also happening because we need access to large talent pools,' Anand explained. She said that when recruiters focus on skills first the talent pool goes up by 9x in India. In case of women candidates, this goes up by 12x. Anand added that the third reason for this acceptability is due to the career pivots that individuals are doing these days. 'We are increasingly seeing on the LinkedIn platform that professionals are pivoting. They may have a certain qualification, and would have started in one area, but now moved to another. Organisations too are more open as they are looking for skills…this fits,' she added. The LinkedIn India RoI research also added that there are long-term advantages of skills-based hiring such as improved workforce adaptability (58 per cent), responsiveness to market shifts due to faster skill acquisition (58 per cent) and internal upskilling opportunities (55 per cent). The survey, which looked at return on investments on hiring, found that three of four (75 per cent) Indian recruiters are investing up to 70 per cent of their hiring budgets in recruitment tech and AI tools. Nearly three in four HR professionals in India say their organisations complete hiring within two to four weeks. But quality of hire has become the most important measure of success, cited by 72 per cent of recruiters, followed by the time to hire (60 per cent) and revenue per employee (59 per cent). Recruiters say delays in the process result in losing top candidates to faster competitors (58 per cent), higher workload pressure on teams (64 per cent), and reduced productivity and morale (63 per cent). The most common causes of delay are structural -- lengthy approval processes (58 per cent) and indecision among hiring managers (56 per cent). 'With the pressure to hire quickly, many recruiters cast the net wide but not deep, choosing volume over precision. But hiring today demands more. Recruiters need tools that help them find skilled talent who can drive real business outcomes,' Anand elaborated. 'The opportunity lies in using AI and data to shift from quick-fill roles to high-impact hires. Our latest research shows that over half (53 per cent) of recruiters in India already see stronger returns from platforms like LinkedIn, as they shift focus to skills like problem-solving, creativity, and leadership. This marks a clear step forward in how India hires - with precision, purpose, and long-term value in mind,' she added.

US trade pact set for early finish: Piyush Goyal
India and the US are on track to seal a trade agreement before the deadline of fall 2025 set by PM Narendra Modi and President Donald Trump, commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal told ET in an interview. Goyal, who is on a four-day visit to Switzerland and Sweden, said the rare earth magnet supply squeeze by China is a wakeup call. Edited excerpts: Q: Trade has now acquired a geopolitical dimension. How can India secure its interests? A : Today, India is sitting on the high table. We have free trade agreements (FTAs) with most developed nations—Japan and Korea, Australia, UAE, the four EFTA (European Free Trade Association) countries. The FTA with the UK has already closed. We are in active dialogue with the US for a bilateral trade agreement, with the European Union for a free trade agreement… with Peru, Chile, and Oman. The entire world recognises India's growing strength. 'Perfect Opportunity' The world recognises the decisive leadership Prime Minister Modi brings to the table and the opportunity of associating with the fastest growing large economy, which is expected to grow from $4 trillion to $5 trillion. It's a perfect opportunity. And, I think, no country would like to miss it. Q: India is in talks for multiple FTAs, some with advanced economies. How is the government preparing Indian industry to ensure that they can take advantage of these agreements? Also, are there policy interventions that are required to help them do so? A : For the last 11 years of the Modi government, focus has been on ease of doing business, deregulating the economy, making it less difficult to meet regulatory compliances, and decriminalising our laws. He launched Make in India to encourage investments in the manufacturing sector. We have created a framework within the country with strong macroeconomic fundamentals. The government is ensuring that demand in the country remains robust and grows so that investors from around the world feel interested in working in India. I think the perfect foundation has been laid. Now with these free trade agreements, continuity, stability and predictability of policy will be available for our industry in advanced and developed economies, which is important for investment or business. A case in point is the global capability centres (GCCs). During Covid, the nimbleness with which Prime Minister Modi adapted policy to ensure continuity of business earned India the tag of a trusted partner. All the work that people realised could be done working from home can also be done working from India. That's opened up a plethora of opportunities in terms of jobs. Millions of Indians are now working in GCCs. They're earning us billions of dollars of foreign exchange, adding to our construction and real estate ecosystem, providing tertiary jobs. Nearly 2,000 of them are in India today. Q: Where are we on the US trade agreement and is the baseline 10% tariff a sticking point? A : We don't negotiate through the press. We negotiate on the negotiating table. Q: When can we expect the deal to come through? A : We (US and India) are both committed to a bilateral trade agreement. Our leaders have set a task of completing the BTA by fall 2025. We are well on track to complete it before that. Q: Supply chains are facing new challenges. The rare earth magnet issue has again brought into focus the issue of secure supply chains. What is India planning to do to ring-fence its industry? A : It is a wake-up call not just for Indian businesses but for businesses around the world. And this wake-up call will help all supply chains to reassess their resilience and their dependability on certain geographies. This will prompt them to look for trusted partners. For India, while we may have a problem with permanent magnets in the short run, we are already engaged with industry and with our startup ecosystem to find solutions. Even during the course of my stay in Switzerland, we discussed with some companies how they are coming around to address this problem. And I assure you that we are solving this problem. But this wake-up call will help people reassess the resilience of their supply chains and surely attract business to India. Q: IT services exports have helped make up the goods trade deficit. Is AI a threat to our services exports? A : Certainly, some work and jobs will get impacted by AI. We cannot deny that. But we cannot cry over that, we have to find solutions. We have to adopt AI. We have to learn and retrain our people to be able to engage with AI. We have to leverage AI to our advantage so that instead of the current work that we are doing, we'll probably do even higher value-added work. At the end of the day, I believe the human mind is always supreme, because AI is largely dependent on what you feed into the system. I think there will be a rejig in the way work is done. There will be a need to retrain and reskill our people, but end of the day, I can assure you, India will come out the winner even in this. Q: The budget had announced an export promotion mission. How soon is it likely to be unveiled? A : We have already worked out the areas which will be the focus of the available resources with the ministry. The effort is to promote new exporters, look at new markets and new products. The budget and the resources will help, particularly our MSME sector, our job generating sectors, our farmers, and to expand in the international markets.
