Why We Should Stop Asking For Degrees in Recruitment

Let’s stop asking for degrees in recruitment.

Santander recently announced that they would remove the requirement for a 2:1 degree from its graduate scheme, and is apparently the only bank to allow graduates with a third-class degree.

I would go beyond that and ask why degrees are necessary at all.

Maybe graduate schemes should be changed to simply employ the brightest and the best, whether or not they have a degree.
