This is a fantastic article about hiring that is relevant both inside and outside of higher ed. Hiring committees and managers need to consider that the right candidate for their position may not have had the same or a similar role in the past or might not have had the opportunity to. They should also consider that if a candidate checks 90-100% of the boxes, they're making a lateral move. Candidates that are looking to grow are applying to roles where they maybe meet 60-70% of the requirements because they want an opportunity to learn, grow, and challenge themselves. Yes, it's might be easier to bring in someone that's had the same or a similar role in the past when you're hiring, but as the article states, that doesn't mean the candidate has experienced the same issues your organization has so they may not be a good fit. Don't immediately pass on a candidate because they don't have the title you're hiring for, if you do you may miss the next superstar for your organization. #hiring #highereducation #higheredjobs #highereducationleadership https://lnkd.in/gJ5XUgjX
