With workforce purpose, critical skills, and engagement at historic lows, most organisations today face a talent crisis that legacy HR approaches simply can’t solve. Despite longer hiring cycles and heavier assessments, many hiring frameworks still rely on assumptions—using copy-paste job descriptions and gut-feel interviews, while roles outpace static frameworks. This leads to missed opportunities and high-stakes hiring decisions made in the dark.

This webinar, sponsored by Epitome and organised by People Matters, uncovers why traditional competency frameworks have become a major blind spot in talent acquisition, and how next-generation workforce optimisation platforms are changing the game. It will explore how AI-powered solutions—including Epitome’s groundbreaking platform—can help organisations and governments escape the trap of legacy hiring and unlock human potential at scale.

Epitome is not just another HR tool; it’s the category creator for workforce optimisation. Using a unique blend of validated psychometrics, global skills frameworks, and real-time labour market intelligence to map the “whole person”—from skills and motivations to values and engagement—in minutes, not months.​​

This is effortlessly achieved by auto-generating role-specific competency frameworks by drawing from over 100,000 global job competencies (O*NET, ESCO, SkillsFuture Singapore). Instantly, organisations can attach scientifically-proven assessments—psychometric, motivational, and technical—without relying on costly, months-long consulting projects.​​
