I've noticed that job postings increasingly list 'soft skills' like communication and teamwork as requirements, yet I've never seen a rubric that actually measures them in a hiring process. Are we really hiring for these skills, or just paying them lip service? I've had colleagues who excelled at technical interviews but struggled in client meetings, which makes me wonder if our current assessment tools are even capable of capturing something as subjective as adaptability. How do we even begin to evaluate soft skills fairly and consistently across different candidates?
