If your goal is to underpay someone at all costs, then I agree getting creative with the types of candidate backgrounds you’ll consider might work.
Otherwise, college experience is just another way of getting some signal or info about a candidate’s talent. It’s not a guarantee of anything, just an often useful signal.
- smt88 8y agoI don't under-pay anyone, but like most people hiring for desirable jobs, I have too many resumes to sort through and could never interview everyone. You find yourself reaching for quick filters, even if they're not perfect. Could I miss out on great candidates by interviewing only people with college degrees? Yes, and I'm sure I have. But the ones I have interviewed have also ended up being the worst interviews of my career, and it had nothing to do with technical skill. YMMV
