#23 Talent Quest: Africa's Path to Economic Growth Lies in the HR Revolution
Did you know? By 2040, nearly half of the global workforce will come from Africa! But here’s the challenge: only 3 million jobs are created each year, while 11 million people enter the workforce. 📈This is where Shortlist, founded by Paul Breloff, steps in. Combining technology, insight, and a deep understanding of African markets, Shortlist is revolutionising how talent is sourced and developed. With an ambitious vision, Shortlist aims to unlock $100 billion in lifetime earnings for Africans by 2035. Here’s how: 👇🔑 Key Takeaways🔹 Two-Pronged Approach:• Shortlist Cert: Specialises in senior leadership hiring, adapting global executive search practices to Africa’s unique context. 🌍• Shortlist Futures: A workforce innovation lab focused on creating career pathways for young African professionals, from entry-level to specialised roles. 🌱🔹 Tackling the Talent Crisis:• Shortlist’s innovative platform uses assessments and chatbots to streamline candidate screening, gathering insights beyond the traditional CV, especially for early-career talent. 📊• Remote work support, including financing for equipment, enables young Africans to access global opportunities without the burden of high-tech costs. 🏡🔹 Preparing for an AI-Driven Future:• Shortlist is equipping African talent with AI literacy, bootcamps, and reskilling initiatives for sectors like healthcare, finance, and agriculture. By leveraging AI in its services, Shortlist ensures ethical and innovative integration, positioning African talent to thrive in the global AI landscape. 🤖🔹 Building Essential Skills:• Paul highlights adaptability and learning agility as must-haves for Africa’s young workforce. Digital teamwork, remote collaboration tools (Google Calendar, Slack, etc.), and entrepreneurial thinking are core skills Shortlist encourages. 💪As Paul says, "How you learn and adapt will matter more than what you know."Find FROM GARAGE TO GROWTH:Website: https://fromgaragetogrowth.deSpotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/from-garage-to-growthApple Podcast: https://youtu.be/J5sZa8O3L5MInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/gara.ge2growth/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/garage2growth/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Garage2Growth TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@UChpCSEYNxP4PUY6PY2qcmnA
