Tech Companies starting to give up on degrees
 

Too old fashioned

It appears the technology industry is starting to give up on the concept of hiring developers with university degrees.

According to Fast Company there are lots of really good reasons not to take people just from universities.

Apparently the policy has created a feedback loop of talent and a largely homogenous workplace. As a result, tech continues to stumble when it comes to diversity. Brilliant developers are often ethnic minorities who can’t afford to go to college or are discouraged from attending because they are girls.

The easiest way is to recruit talent from people outside of its preferred networks and not just people who have four-year degrees.
