Do Degrees Still Matter? Rethinking What Makes a Great Hire

A Word With Yourself by Wren Insight Group

Episode notes

In this episode, we dig into the role of degrees in modern hiring—and whether they’re still relevant in a skills-based world.

Lesley and Jennifer explore how requiring a degree for roles that don’t need them can limit talent, reinforce privilege, and quietly exclude great candidates. They also reflect on personal experiences from both sides of the hiring table, and what equity in recruitment really looks like.
