Measuring Power Skills: How AI Can Transform Talent Assessment

Описание: In the age of AI, technical skills are becoming a commodity, making "power skills" the true competitive advantage.

We have a million ways to measure coding ability, sales performance, and typing speed. But how do you measure creativity? How do you quantify collaboration or curiosity?

For decades, companies have relied on gut feelings or static resumes to assess them. In this episode of Work Tech Weekly, Steve Smith talks with Dustin Clinard, CEO of Ignis AI, about how artificial intelligence is finally solving the "soft skills" data problem.

We dive into how Ignis uses an AI chatbot to analyze open-text responses—moving beyond multiple-choice personality tests—and how this data creates a "Talent Flower" visualization that baselines human capability. We also discuss why this technology isn't just for hiring, but for mapping the future growth of your existing workforce.

📌 Topics covered:

Why "power skills" are the new currency in the AI era

The "Talent Flower": Visualizing human potential
