easily implemented to achieve some results.
During the interview, make questions to identify the skills
Most disruptive idea (one that would make a huge impact, regardless of how feasible or affordable
it is):

Human resources companies, have the know how and the licenses to find out the skills of a candidate
and identify if he/she will be a good fit into the company culture. If the company which is recruiting
have the resources for it, this is the idea with the most impact.
Nevertheless if small companies join their efforts and resources and fund together such campaigns it
could be a possibility for all.
Favorite idea:
Online courses to identify candidates and their skills
To offer the candidates free online courses of their interests (whether related to the opening or a
course of how to achieve the best of their skills) and through the process the company could identify
the skills from the possible candidates.
