Rethink HR Series (Q3 2026)
RETHINK HR SERIES: Degrees vs. Skills: Are We Hiring the Right People?
➜ Build a Winning Workforce
The world of work is changing, and so is the definition of what makes someone truly qualified.
For decades, academic qualifications have played a major role in how organizations identify and select talent. But as skills, adaptability, and human capabilities become increasingly important, an important question deserves to be asked: Are we still hiring for qualifications, or are we hiring for potential?
➜ About the Session
In this edition of the Rethink HR Series, we take a closer look at the tension between academic credentials and practical skills in today's workplace.
This session will challenge HR professionals, recruiters, business leaders, and people managers to rethink how they define talent, recognize potential, and make hiring decisions. Beyond degrees and prestigious institutions, what other qualities should organizations be looking for when building a workforce that can grow, adapt, and perform?
