Insights & perspectives

Something fundamental is changing in the global labor market. From Silicon Valley to Nordic headquarters, a quiet revolution is underway: companies like Google, IBM, Accenture, and Unilever are removing degree requirements and replacing them with skills-based hiring.

The next five years will be decisive for how employers and society manage the ongoing transformation of working life.

Competence has become the new currency in working life. At the same time, we face a paradox: organizations are downsizing and laying off employees, while the shortage of skills is growing.

We are now launching a new layout and expanded features in Erigo, developed to meet the rapidly growing need for integrated and sustainable competence development. Behind this launch lie the insights from our work since the beginning and the vision of building a platform that strengthens people, organizations, and society.
