One thing is clear: The talent mismatch cannot
be filled one position and one hire at a time.
Organizations must recalibrate their
mindsets to consider candidates
who may not meet all the job
specifications, but whose capability
gaps can be filled in a timely and
cost-effective way—candidates
who are a “teachable fit.”
Manpower Inc. 2010 Talent Shortage Survey | Monday, 13 April 2015

What is “Teachable Fit?”
It’s a concept that looks at the capabilities required
by a job, evaluates the importance and teachability
of each, and finally determines the capacity of
candidates to develop these capabilities.
Manpower Inc. 2010 Talent Shortage Survey | Monday, 13 April 2015
23
Finding a Teachable Fit
To find a teachable fit, organizations must ask four questions:
1
What capabilities are essential to performing the job?
2
Which of these are teachable in an efficient way?
3
Is there adequate time and money to develop these
capabilities in the candidate?
4
Do candidates have the capacity (motivation and
capability to develop them?

Training is Vital.
A commitment to reskilling and upskilling current and
potential employees will enable organizations to
expand the available pools of talent, ensure that their
workforces continue to be appropriately skilled and
keep employees engaged in their work.
