Early careers hiring is broken. It's time to fix it.
The
Academic Illusion
- Top grades don’t always predict workplace success
- University prestige can create hiring blind spots
- High-potential talent could come from non-traditional pathways
The
Stakes Multiplier
- Degree subjects lag behind industry needs
- Traditional qualifications could miss future-ready capabilities
- Academic measurement can miss what matters most in workplace context
The
Diversity Dilemma
- Sometimes the best talent comes from otherwise unexpected places
- Traditional hiring methods can perpetuate existing bias
- Systemic barriers can block diverse talent pools
