Before you call someone else's comment useless, consider if yours is any better: You have no evidence supporting your hunch that degreed applicants make better

Before you call someone else's comment useless, consider if yours is any better: You have no evidence supporting your hunch that degreed applicants make better employees, so you're making your most important business decisions based on feels. You have never performed a long-term study or an A/B test of degreed and non-degreed applicants. You run all applicants through a filter that eliminates outliers and produces a mediocre average, before you start looking for people that are above average, able to fit your team. The problem with your hiring process isn't the candidates but that your ties to them are too weak and that there are too many of them, so that you can't put enough time into learning about them. Degrees have nothing to do with it.
