Research shows a shift towards skills-based assessments in hiring, with nearly 75% of companies adopting this method, leading to more effective and equitable hiring processes that may eventually replace traditional résumés, especially as firms also reduce emphasis on degrees. This approach benefits candidates, including underrepresented groups, and aligns with a move away from degree requirements, although many Gen Z still prefer traditional education paths.
