Here is the thing about skills-based hiring and retention that rarely gets said clearly: they are the same strategy. When you hire for what people can actually do, you put them in roles where they succeed.
When people succeed, they stay. The firms with the lowest turnover in professional services are not just paying more or offering better perks.
They are building teams where the fit is real from the first conversation. That starts with hiring differently.
