The IT and Banking sectors are changing how they hire. Studies show a big skills gap: 87% of organizations can't find the right people. Banking has seen a 75% jump in digital skill shortages since 2021. IT needs to fill 149 million new digital jobs by 2025. Yet, only 25% of employers think they can find qualified candidates. This gap means companies must change how they hire and train.
Skills-first hiring is now essential for success. But large companies, especially in IT and Banking, face challenges. How can they make this change manageable and trackable? AI-powered skills intelligence platforms offer a solution. Let's explore how iMocha is changing the game.
