SkillsAssess CEO Robin Adda featured in HRreview – FOBO and the hiring gap.

Robin Adda, CEO of SkillsAssess, has been featured in HRreview with a new piece on one of the more overlooked challenges of the AI era: what happens to workers who lose their jobs to automation, and why getting back into the workforce afterward is often harder than expected.

The article, “FOBO and the hiring gap – why workers displaced by AI may struggle to return”, looks past the usual conversation about jobs being automated away and asks a less-discussed question: what happens next for the people affected. Adda coins the term “FOBO” — fear of becoming obsolete — to describe a growing anxiety among workers that even a short career break can leave them behind, as tools, workflows, and job expectations shift faster than they can track from the outside.

The piece is a useful read for HR leaders, hiring managers, and anyone shaping workforce strategy as AI continues to reshape day-to-day roles across industries.
