This blog features a conversation between Josh Tarr, Director of Skills-Based Organization at Workday, and Julius Schelstraete, Customer Community Lead at TechWolf. Together, they discuss how Workday is using TechWolf’s AI-powered skills data to transform hiring, career growth, and workforce planning, and what’s next in their journey toward becoming a skills-based organization.

Workday Rising SF 2025 highlighted both the excitement and challenges of building skills-based organizations. TechWolf engaged with hundreds of HR leaders, sharing insights on the urgent need for clean workforce data, the growing pressure to tie HR initiatives directly to business outcomes, and the evolving role of AI in shaping work. The event reinforced that HR is at a pivotal moment, responsible not only for fixing data and job architectures but also for intentionally designing how AI transforms tasks, skills, and careers.
