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 😄

    I’ve never seen a hiring manager that knew shit about anything besides trying to haggle wages down. Are they living in some kind of parallel universe?

      They also know how to sack people and talk people into not reporting something like health and safety violations.

      One place I worked at used ozone in an enclosed space for cleaning. No masks or ventilation. Some new guy was like “in the last place I worked we had a shit load of procedures for that because it was so dangerous”

      They stopped using ozone then and no one got anything out of it.
