Hello Network. Ed-tech jobs for entry-level job seekers, who does everyone follow for job postings? I follow the norm, but let's be honest the list is appealing but not geared toward people making the switch. I do not need a manager position or a 6 figure job or even to work at a big company. I am looking for a small company, to grow, and someone that does not want 3+ years of experience.

Should edtech companies hire only folks with education or edtech experience? Should non-edtech companies hire folks who have relevant skills but no industry experience? I've seen different answers to both of these questions on LinkedIn recently so it got me digging into the data about jobs I've shared to answer: what kind of industry-background are the companies I source from looking for? Since I tag the minimum experience every job I post requires, I have data on 2k+ jobs posted the edtech/ed adjacent industries over the past two months. ––––––––––––– 🙋♀️ Hi!

Do you still hire based on academic background? Well I don’t, I can’t, I won’t! And why? Because I don’t like closing the doors to many talented professionals who may not have an excellent academic background but have a lot of practical experience. I still feel that I learned 99% of what I used professionally, on the job, and less than 1% in university. How can I judge others then? In Tech, practical experience is more valuable than academic background. When I recruit for tech positions, I focus on: Values, Motivation, Attitude, Team work, Technical challenges, And Professional Experience. That is all that matters. It’s time to stop using academic grades as criteria to enter the tech industry, isn’t it? Let’s stop using academic grades to stop people from getting into the tech industry. Tell me, is your company still hiring based on academic grades? #GoncaloHiires #Recruitment #TalentRetention

New grads are struggling to find work. There are fewer "new grad friendly" positions. Technology continues to take on basic tasks (answering phones/work assistants traditionally did, etc) and there are fewer business with inflated team sizes making it hard for them to onboard a junior who needs oversight which only works well when someone has time to show them the ropes. In an interesting twist, though, unemployment remains very low - there are jobs and people are working! Employers - when assessing candidates, especially ones newer to the workforce, please don't penalize them if they aren't doing what you would expect based on their studies. Let's call it a win that they are working at all, learning, and building up to what they can bring to you when you are ready for them. #employer #hiring #newgrad #hiringmanager #hiring #candidate #manager #mentor #classof2024 #recruiting #hr #talentacquisition
