Ernst & Young Removes Degree Classification From Entry Criteria As There's 'No Evidence' University Equals Success

Posted by Sarah Loates on March 7, 2017 at 9:30am in Talent & Resourcing

Morning all

I was interested to read the article attached. What are your thoughts on this is this something which you think your Company may adopt?

In addition to the above the article also explores  PWC scrapping UCAS points as entry criteria for its graduate scheme. The audit firm believes placing too much emphasis on the scores will mean employers may miss out on key talent from disadvantaged backgrounds, who can perform less well at school.

Would be great to share best practice in this area especially those with a graduate recruitment background.

Regards

Sarah

    I think this is a really positive step forward and something I think more organisations should consider.
