With the shift towards skills based organizations - would like to understand if and how (i.e. with what technology) organizations are evaluating skills as part of the interview process for candidates?

1.     We conduct skill-based assessments for freshers, covering areas such as coding, logical reasoning, and AI orchestration. For lateral hires, customized skill-based assessments in MCQ/coding format according to the role requirements. Also have specific certification criteria that must be met to qualify for the interview process for certain tech roles

Not sure that there is a shift toward skills based organizations.  The need for specific skills has always been there, be it to build a PPT or write a contract or code in C++.  Depending on the skills that are needed for a particular process, the interview content is adapted to ensure that the skills sought are assessed appropriately during the interview process.

Agree I think the shift is away from cumbersome competency maps/models or career paths that change too frequently and become outdates and unsustainable.

in my previous organization we hired programmers, so we gave them a problem and asked them to write a piece of code to show how they would solve it then had a member of the programming team review the code for accuracy. In off-shore roles, we gave an English written and speaking exam to demonstrate communication skills. For other roles we gave a knowledge assessment using scenarios to guage critical thinking and problem solving skills.
