The semiconductor industry is booming, but workforce shortages are slowing growth at a critical time. In this episode, host Robert Tuchman talks with Dean Sierra, Senior Director of Operations at Kelly, about why companies can’t rely on experience alone when hiring and how an aptitude-first mindset is helping close the talent gap.

Dean shares insights from his 35+ years in the industry and explains how Kelly is moving beyond the traditional hire-train-deploy model to create lasting workforce solutions. From identifying problem solvers to building leadership pipelines and leveraging organizational learning, Dean highlights how semiconductor companies can shift from competing for scarce talent to developing it.

Whether you’re heading to Semicon West or looking to strengthen your own talent strategies, this conversation offers a practical look at how workforce models are evolving and what leaders need to do next.
