It’s No Surprise That “Skills-Based” Hiring Has Not Worked - eviltoast

This article outlines an opinion that organizations either tried skills based hiring and reverted to degree required hiring because it was warranted, or they didn’t adapt their process in spite of executive vision.

Since this article is non industry specific, what are your observations or opinions of the technology sector? What about the general business sector?

Should first world employees of businesses be required to obtain degrees if they reasonably expect a business related job?

Do college experiences and academic rigor reveal higher achieving employees?

Is undergraduate education a minimum standard for a more enlightened society? Or a way to hold separation between classes of people and status?

Is a masters degree the new way to differentiate yourself where the undergrad degree was before?

Edit: multiple typos, I guess that’s proof that I should have done more college 😄

    A problen in any mericratic system is accounting for personal bias. Its very hard for some people to see someone do something different and assume they are as good or better then themselves.

    THEY went to college or THEY didn’t and all of the personal reasons they assumed when making that decision get reapplied to others.

    THEY didn’t get where they are by being hired off of well studied hiring mechanism so why would think it needs changed, the old system works for them.

    Same issue with election reforms.
