It happens all the time. I was incredulous too, but companies are really bad at hiring. For example, many companies may not even interview a very good programmer if they didn't major in computer science. I am not sure why.
- shagie 4y agoBecause they have enough applicants, some of who are qualified, that have a college degree that adding the filter of a college degree results in a reduction of the amount of work that HR or a manager needs to do to consider the resumes and has a higher percentage of qualified applicants in the pool of degree holders.
- theamk 4y agoOne of the job postings actually spells it out: they want "experience" and coursework counts for it > Bachelor’s degree in Computer Sciences, Engineering, Sciences; or High School Degree/General Education Diploma and 4 years of relevant experience in lieu of Bachelor’s degree. > 1+ years of work experience or coursework in design capabilities using modern technologies. We can argue if modern CS curriculum is really equivalent to work experience, especially with reduction in number of large projects, but at least the companies are pretty upfront about what they want and why.
