What's School Got To Do With It? Myths and Realities of Educational Credentials  

 

Workplace Application: This session will show you how education is related to other candidate success factors.

Recruiters have to contend with both countless job applications and diverse, sometimes questionable, hiring manager specifications. Some managers are tempted to substitute candidates' education for in-depth examination of other more significant qualifications. Findings leveraged from a database of more than 10,000 adults will be shared, about the linkages between level of education and the competencies and personal characteristics that predict job success. This session will help you analyze your hiring managers’ screening criteria so you can suggest the most useful candidate credentials.
