Move Beyond Traditional Credentials: Employers should move away from traditional markers like degrees and focus more on skills and potential, which increases the talent pool's depth and diversity.
Prioritize Potential: Focus on a candidate's flexibility, learning agility, and creativity. Tools like IQ assessments can predict long-term success better than college credentials, reducing bias in hiring.
Emphasize Soft Skills: As hard skills quickly become outdated, soft skills like creativity and emotional intelligence provide a more durable measure of a candidate's ability to adapt and innovate.
