Skillfully, a leader in skills-based hiring, has unveiled the general availability of its cutting-edge “SkillsOS” AI-powered toolset, designed to help hiring managers make faster, more confident decisions based on an applicant’s demonstrated skills. The innovative product suite, powered by Anthropic’s Claude AI, allows employers to move beyond traditional resumes and assessments, offering hyper-realistic simulations tailored to each organization’s specific workplace scenarios.

Bias Prevention: Skillfully has implemented robust safeguards against bias, including identity-blind evaluations, role-specific skill validation, and detailed audit trails. The system focuses solely on candidates’ demonstrated capabilities, ensuring fair, transparent, and defensible hiring decisions.
