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 😄

Most of HR processes are pure ideological bullshit. "Personality tests" that are nothing else but "we search for obedient drones and here is our tarot to help" and "intelligence tests" that are based on some racial science bullshit made to prove the inferiority of Jews that might be useful only if you work in a factory of math patterns.

They are not there to ensure efficient production, after all they don't know shit about the product or internal processes of the teams. They're a caste of priests whose role is ensuring compliance with the feudal-corporate system.

A friend was just turned down from a job at a japanese software factory because "he talked too much" during his interview, but the one doing the interview is also my friend and said the guy was good but the CTO puts extreme importance on "cultural match".
