This allows businesses to target individuals \u2013 people who are not just decision-makers by title, but who possess the expertise, knowledge, and technical background most relevant to the products or services being offered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor B2B marketers, finding the precise individuals receptive to your message has never been more critical,\u201d said Meredith Amdur, CEO of Rhetorik, \u201cand a job title alone does not achieve this. Our AI Skill Targeting solutions offer a smarter way to find more leads, with greater precision and with more speed than traditional methods. We bring the power of talent analytics and precision recruiting tools to B2B marketing, helping businesses find the people most likely to engage with their message, and a new way to score high propensity accounts based on their workforce\u2019s underlying skills and technographic profile.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>How AI Skill Targeting Works<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the heart of AI Skill Targeting is Rhetorik&#8217;s proprietary SkillGraph\u2014 a ranked database that goes far beyond conventional datapoints and filters. This in-depth understanding and lead scoring process enables marketers to pinpoint qualified prospects \u2013 and downgrade inappropriate prospects &#8212; more effectively.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, a digital manufacturing client faced challenges finding and reaching their ideal audience. Many key engineers were listed under vague job titles like \u201cProject Manager.\u201d Using AI Skill Targeting, Rhetorik reached deep into the proprietary global database \u00a0to identify these individuals based on their expertise and familiarity with the company\u2019s technology. The result? Higher engagement rates and significantly improved campaign performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Rhetorik, we uncovered digital manufacturing engineers who weren\u2019t visible to us based on their job titles alone,\u201d said Ken Urquhart, PhD, Global Vice President, 5G Strategy at ZScaler. \u201cThis approach allowed us to connect with individuals far more likely to engage with our campaigns, driving better results overall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Transform Your B2B Marketing Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whether someone is marketing advanced technology, SaaS solutions, or specialized services, Rhetorik\u2019s innovative tool makes it easier to find and engage the <em>RIGHT<\/em> audience at scale.

Rather than pursuing linear advancement, many members of Gen Z are prioritising roles that align with identity, flexibility, and purpose. Communication, notably, emerges as their most commonly cited skill, suggesting that soft skills have become as central to their career success as technical fluency.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-928\" src=\"https:\/\/rhetorik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-19-at-16.42.54.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rhetorik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-19-at-16.42.54.png 980w, https:\/\/rhetorik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-19-at-16.42.54-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/rhetorik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-19-at-16.42.54-768x527.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The findings, drawn from Rhetorik\u2019s live global database of over 800 million professional profiles, are powered by machine learning that infers age, gender, skillsets, and job categories.

Gen Z is disproportionately represented in IT, digital marketing, and design-led disciplines. Skills such as coding, content creation, design thinking, and teamwork appear frequently in this cohort\u2019s profiles. By contrast, legal and management roles are less common, reflecting a shift away from conventional leadership trajectories toward more decentralised, impact-driven careers.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-922 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/rhetorik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-19-at-16.17.45.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rhetorik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-19-at-16.17.45.png 1184w, https:\/\/rhetorik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-19-at-16.17.45-300x204.png 300w, https:\/\/rhetorik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-19-at-16.17.45-1024x695.png 1024w, https:\/\/rhetorik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-19-at-16.17.45-768x522.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/>\u00a0<br \/><span data-contrast=\"none\">Baby Boomers (61\u201379) continue to dominate in leadership and negotiation-heavy roles, while Generation X (45\u201360) occupies a middle ground, balancing traditional managerial skillsets with digital transition. Millennials (29\u201344) reflect a hybrid approach, reporting both legacy tools and emerging technologies.
