Podcast: Why soft skills matter in the age of AI

Published date: 12 November 2024

In a recent episode of the Editor in Chief podcast, Robert Walters ANZ CEO Shay Peters sat down with Duncan Garner to tackle a pressing topic: the rise of AI in the workplace. With AI advancing at an unprecedented pace, it’s not just technical skills that matter anymore. Employers are placing a premium on soft skills—especially communication and stakeholder management.

Recent research from Robert Walters reveals:

  • 96% of hiring managers now view soft skills as equally or more important than hard skills.
  • 92% of hiring managers have turned down candidates due to a lack of soft skills.

 

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • How AI is transforming skill needs: As AI takes on more hard skills, soft skills are becoming indispensable.
  • The power of collaboration across generations: Each generation brings unique insights, and collaborative learning is key.
  • The role of soft skills as the ultimate career differentiator: In today’s competitive job market, soft skills set you apart.
  • Why human connection is irreplaceable: Despite technological advances, employers are prioritising human interaction and relationship-building.
