☆ How AI is closing talent gaps by focusing on skills

There's good reason to adopt a skills-first strategy: Hiring managers who practice skills-first hiring find it twice as easy to find qualified candidates than hiring managers who do not. But the advancement of generative AI has the potential to change that. To use AI effectively for skills-first hiring, talent professionals must understand how models have been developed and trained and audit and monitor those models for bias. Indeed's Smart Sourcing generative AI provides an explanation of the candidate's potential overlapping qualifications with the employer's job description. As crucial as AI will be to skills-first hiring, talent acquisition, and management always starts and end with humans.

While hostilities throughout the Middle East have ramped up, there has not been any oil supply disruption, observed Andy Lipow, president at Lipow Oil Associates. "The oil market does not expect an all-out war between Iran and Israel that would impact supply," he told CNBC via email. However, both experts noted that a rapid escalation in conflict could lead to crude oil prices hitting $100 per barrel. While unlikely, oil prices would jump by $30 per barrel if it occurred, he added. "If events rapidly spiral, any material disruption to Iranian oil supplies or oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz could send oil prices well over $100 per barrel," said Young.

"It is a delicate balance to promote domestic European production without severely impacting their Chinese operations," McCabe said.

BEIJING, CHINA - DECEMBER 04: China and Canada flag is displayed in front of the Forbidden City on December 4, 2017 in Beijing, China. China's state media has criticized Canada over its decision to impose 100% import tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, using bolder language than Beijing's official government response. Canada is "shooting itself in the foot" by "following U.S.' protectionist policies," the outspoken editor of the Global Times, a Chinese government mouthpiece, wrote Wednesday. On Monday, Canada announced that it would import 100% tariffs on China-made electric vehicles, effective Oct. 1. The Biden administration announced in May significant tariffs on Chinese EVs, advanced batteries, solar cells, steel, aluminum and medical equipment.

Canada already imposes 6.1% tariff on EVs manufactured in China and imported into Canada, the government said on Monday.

Canada's EV, steel and aluminum industries face "unfair competition" and trade practices from China, the government's finance department said.

New York CNN —A stalemate in Washington could destroy a landmark tax deal that was painstakingly hammered out among 140 countries over the better part of a decade. Some analysts say that the United States’ inability to ratify the deal could lead to a tax war among the richest nations that would hit tech behemoths like Google, Apple, Meta and Amazon particularly hard. Canada recently implemented a local tax on the world’s largest tech companies, something the OECD treaty had sought to avoid. New Zealand has also said it will implement its own digital services tax on large multinational companies beginning in 2025. The FTC also said that documents showed that competing mattress suppliers would lose access to its most important retail channel.
