There is No Skills Gap - Just Lazy Hiring
After extensive research, we are convinced the so-called skills gap dilemma is a myth. The real issue? Lazy or biased hiring strategies that artificially limit talent pools.
Study after study proves companies with greater diversity perform better financially and culturally. Diverse teams relate to a broader customer base, encourage new ideas, and make organisations more inclusive.
With such clear benefits, why do so many companies limit diversity in recruiting?
We believe it boils down to lack of experience hiring from creative, untapped talent pools. It takes effort to expand networks, connect with new sources of candidates, and communicate your brand in a way that resonates with non-traditional applicants.
Organisations unwilling to devote time and resources to enhance sourcing and branding ultimately restrict diversity. They keep fishing in the same small pond while complaining about a "skills gap."
Embracing diversity and inclusion isn't just ethical - it's smart business for any company wanting an edge.
After running skills bootcamps, we’ve seen first-hand the incredible talent overlooked by typical corporate hiring practices. We work with people from all backgrounds, many of whom thrived outside traditional education for various reasons.
These individuals have unmatched resilience, grit, and motivation. They constantly solve problems in unexpected ways. They have fresh perspectives and think differently than the status quo.
Some initially seem quiet, but end up having the best ideas that no one else considered. Others struggled in university but thrive when given an opportunity in a hands-on learning environment.
These talented individuals want to work for companies willing to think differently. Employers who value their skills over outdated preconceptions of background or academic pedigree.
