Hiring for AI fluency by measuring prompting skills? You’re screening for an outdated skill. | ep118

Chelsea Schein, PhD of Veris Insights and The Wharton School of Business is our guest on today’s High Volume Hiring Podcast to discuss not another new AI product but, instead, the people who will use those products and how to best to hire them.

Until very recently, the conventional wisdom amongst employers was that they did not want candidates using AI because the employers wanted to be sure the candidates could think critically. If they assessed AI skills at all, they tended to measure how well the candidate could prompt the AI to generate the results wanted. And, if you’re still doing so, you’re going to want to make some changes.

Cohosts Jeanette Leeds and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site talk with Chelsea about how large employers can better assess the skills of new hires, and even what skills they should be assessing.
