How well do you actually know your workforce?

In this episode of the Asia Tech Podcast, host Michael Waitze sits down with Mark Keough, Co-founder and Executive Director of SkillsAware, to discuss how evidence-based skills intelligence is changing the game for modern organisations.

In a fast-paced, project-driven world, traditional resumes only tell a fraction of a person's story. SkillsAware uses a blend of analytical and conversational agent AI as a controlled "guardrail" to map, rate, and verify an individual's true capabilities - capturing up to 1,000 hidden skills per person while keeping a vital human-in-the-loop.

If you are a talent acquisition leader, HR professional, or business leader looking to optimise workforce planning and productivity, this conversation is a must-watch!

The traditional résumé is dead. When 67% of candidates use AI to polish their CVs, every single application looks uniformly perfect - and tells employers almost nothing about the actual person behind it.

The latest Michael Page 2026 Talent Trends Report confirms a massive, fundamental reset in hiring patterns. As David George, Senior Managing Director at Michael Page Australia, puts it: “The question has shifted from ‘who do you work for’ to ‘what did you learn there, and what can you do with it?’”

That’s because when every CV is perfect, evidence is your only truth.

With 57% of hiring managers using AI to filter candidates, we’ve reached a bizarre standoff where machines are talking to machines. The result? A massive blind spot for human qualities - how you work with others, how you handle a curveball, and how you communicate.

The data shows employers are desperate to fix this:

- 61% of hiring managers now weigh proven skills equally with career path and education.
- 97% of employers who shifted to skills-forward hiring saw marked improvements in identifying true capability and potential.
- Over half of jobseekers are more likely to apply when a role highlights skills over credentials.

But here is the catch: if the CV is AI-generated, how do you verify those human qualities before the interview? How do you test judgement over presentation?

This is what SkillsAware was built to address.

SkillsAware is a skills evidence system designed to move your hiring from "Believe me" claims to "Here is the proof" auditable reality. We sit quietly alongside your existing platforms to help you see the real person behind the digital polish.

✅See all candidate skills - we use a shared language to describe durable, human skills (like adaptability and communication) based on what great looks like - no matter where they were learned.
✅Real-world evidence - instead of relying on a big-name employer on a resume, SkillsAware links real-world evidence to an individual's profile, making their actual capability immediately visible and comparable.
✅Human-in-the-loop integrity - our agentic AI maps life-wide experiences, but professional human judgment remains the ultimate authority. We protect the humanity of hiring.

If you are a hiring manager tired of reviewing identical, AI-optimised resumes, it’s time to change the infrastructure of how you evaluate talent. Stop guessing capability. Start seeing the evidence.
