Here’s what companies can do right now to hire inclusively & address historically rooted barriers that Black workers face:
1⃣Hire for skills, not degrees
2⃣Source talent from the places where STARs work
3⃣Invest in STARs to support their career

Degree inflation has a disparate impact on Black Americans. Employers need to look past degrees when #hiring to build a more #inclusive workforce.

"They are all Black, they are leaders in our community, and these are the stories of the everyday indignities they suffer because of the color of their skin."
@PrattWiley, Corey Thomas, @ColettePhillips and other Black executives share their stories.

How do we make sure this recovery is better for workers than previous recoveries?
Let’s start with dismantling the “skills gap” narrative and addressing systemic issues of job quality, worker voice, social safety net, broken hiring and education equity.

If history repeats, thousands of Americans will turn to higher education to overcome the economic effects of COVID-19. If that happens, they won't need degree programs. They'll need targeted education. Learn more from Strada's

Fan of @Skillist on the behavioral consistency side.
Also like bundled providers that offer assessment... Like sourcing platform @interviewingio, which offers free practice technical interviews + connections to real identity-blind interviews + jobs!

Great article! Resumes are an outdated, terrible technology for recruiting great team-members. Multiple new technologies are changing the face of recruiting. Nice work @cassidylev! bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

PRO HIRING TIP: Resumes are terrible! Read my latest in @business for assessments that work...
...And bonus graphic with sample #assesment players @Skillist @Aon_plc @devskiller @myHRavatar @mercer
Resumes don't work for employers and perpetuate inequality. It's time to give them a Viking funeral (they are highly flammable).
