It’s No Surprise That “Skills-Based” Hiring Has Not Worked (www.forbes.com)

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 😄

That link has trackers in it, mainly google's amp.

Consider posting direct or "clean" links if you care about those things. Everyone who clicks on it is getting farmed and depending on your set up, google knows you shared it. They use this info for making relationships of online communities, which they sell to highest bidder including for political campaigns and business interest among pedestrian marketing purposes.

Yeah, I didn't check because I was on my phone. It's a reasonable call out. I don't like the data mining either. Thanks.
