Maybe employers will have to stop freeriding on the degree signal and instead put actual effort into hiring. That would not be a great tragedy in my opinion.

- nullc 4y ago> stop freeriding on the degree signal and instead put actual effort into hiring. 90% of why employers do that is that we functionally outlawed intelligence testing of job applicants, so they instead outsource it to an extremely expensive alternative.
- bradleyjg 4y agoFunctionally is doing all the work there and isn’t accurate. Do a study showing it’s related to job performance and you can go hog wild.
- dragonwriter 4y ago> 90% of why employers do that is that we functionally outlawed intelligence testing of job applicants No, we didn’t, in fact, the ruling that is misrepresented that way has exactly as much effect on degree requirements (insofar as degree rates are also racially disparate) without evidence of job performance need as it does for IQ tests. But, “IQ tests are functionally illegal and degree requirements with no evidentiary basis are fine” is management/HR cargo cult knowledge, which is the real issue.
- alexthehurst 4y agoI dunno, I took an IQ test for a job application in 2016.
- cidergal 4y agoHow is it functionally outlawed? Most places do coding/system design/behavioral interviews to evaluate "merit"/intelligence/ability.
