The trend of eliminating educational requirements for various job roles has been increasingly observed in many companies. Advocates argue that whether a candidate possesses a degree doesn't always equate to them being competent and efficient in their work. However, some caution against completely disregarding educational factors during hiring processes, as degrees can provide a basic assurance of a candidate’s established abilities. The move to eliminate or minimize education-based qualifications has been most prominent in the tech industry, where skills and experience often outweigh qualifications. However, many other industries continue to require certain levels of education from candidates. As this trend progresses, companies should balance this approach by determining when education might be necessary or beneficial to a role.
