Our co-founder’s take on the recent hiring boom of Chief AI Officers: “AI has to become a part of the skill sets that is expected of everybody from an entry-level person to your CEO. You can't rest the entire initiative on one person. It has to become embedded into every role within the firm. It has to become a part of the culture." - Chessa Eskandanian-Yee Thank you Alex Triplett for the insightful article. This holistic approach ensures AI contributes to real, substantial growth within organizations. #AI #People #Leadership #Hiring #AdvisorEY

As technology and AI dominate conversations, it's essential to recognize the continued impact of strong emotional intelligence in the workforce. Based on Deloitte's study discussed in the article by Bryan Robinson, Ph.D., 92% of companies state that human capabilities or soft skills matter as much or more than hard skills. The takeaways from the study and the article: - 71% of employees believe soft skills will be just as important or more in the future.   - The top soft skills for recruits are communication (25%), problem-solving (21%), and time management (19%). - The most valuable skill for career advancement is leadership. AdvisorEY’s Advice: For Candidates: Highlight your emotional intelligence during interviews by sharing stories and examples that demonstrate empathy, critical thinking, adaptability, and communication. For Companies: Invest in coaching: coaching cultivates your employees' soft skills, leading to a higher return on your human capital investment. #EmotionalIntelligence #CareerGrowth #Leadership #WorkforceDevelopment #AdvisorEY https://lnkd.in/gzikbVDq

The landscape for entry-level hires is shifting, and recent graduates face new challenges and opportunities. Thank you, Joseph Pisani & Lindsay Ellis, for highlighting key trends reshaping the job market for new graduates. ‘Employers Get Picky’: Due to the competitive landscape, recent graduates now face fierce competition from entry-level workers who have some professional experience due to recent layoffs. ‘AI Factor’: It’s not about AI taking over jobs; it’s about mastering AI to enhance job performance. Candidates who can effectively integrate AI into their work are in high demand. ‘Back To Basics’: Build meaningful connections. Invest time in genuine relationships, instead of sending multiple one-size-fits-all messages to hiring managers. AdvisorEY’s Advice: Upskill Continuously: Embrace new technologies, especially AI, and find ways to incorporate them into your existing skill set. Network Intentionally: Focus on building authentic relationships rather than casting a wide, shallow net. Tailor Applications: Customize your resume and cover letter for each job application to highlight the most relevant skills and experiences. This will help you stand out. #CareerDevelopment #JobMarket #Leadership #AdvisorEY https://lnkd.in/gYScfyGw

Navigating networking calls can be complicated—here are Chessa's tips to make the process more seamless and ensure you get the most from your conversations. 🔹 Be intentional: be clear about your goals and why you have chosen to speak to this specific person. Go into the meeting prepared and have a list of questions, topics, ideas, and goals that align with their expertise. 🔹 Approach the conversation as you would a long-term relationship: Foster genuine connections that can grow and evolve over time, rather than just focusing on immediate gains. 🔹 Don't waste the other person's time: Be concise and respectful of their time, ensuring that each interaction is meaningful and value-driven. #AdvisorEY #Networking #Coaching

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the hiring landscape shifted by placing less emphasis on Ivy League prestige. The pandemic’s popular virtual hiring trend expanded the access to a wider pool of candidates. This trend coupled with the 2021 candidate shortage, propelled companies to hire from diverse backgrounds by focusing more on skills over school pedigree. This unintentional shift fostered a more thoughtful hiring practice that extended beyond conventional hiring norms. As candidates from diverse backgrounds began to demonstrate their values, it became increasingly apparent that the influence of the once-celebrated Ivy League credentials was waning and the focus was shifting away from a candidate's alma mater to embracing a more holistic approach to recruitment. #Education #CareerDevelopment #Talent Link to article here: https://lnkd.in/gAgAU4Gq Thank you, Emma Whitford & Rina Torchinsky, for sparking insightful conversation.
