I believe that hiring someone based on their relevant degree rather than their practical experience can lead to a slower pace of work. When hiring individuals with significant experience, they often bring a rapid work mode, which may clash with the laid-back attitudes of current management. On the other hand, hiring candidates with relevant degrees but less experience might align better with the existing team's dynamics and vision. Current HR practices often emphasize slow, organic growth, which can be detrimental to startups and fast-paced companies. This approach prioritizes "degree acquisition over talent acquisition", which can stifle company growth and innovation. It is crucial that job profiles and descriptions clearly reflect this degree-focused hiring philosophy. By doing so, companies can better align their hiring practices with their growth objectives and avoid the pitfalls of a mismatch between the team's expectations and the company's strategic goals. #Hiring #HR #DegreeOverExperience #TalentAcquisition #CompanyGrowth #Hospitality
