It's Not Nagging: Effective Communication is Deliberately Redundant
“I love repeating myself” – said nobody ever. When asked to repeat ourselves, we seem to fall on a spectrum from “I don’t like it” to “I dread it so much it makes my blood boil”.

But there’s a problem: For every 100 of these new postings, fewer than four additional candidates without degrees are actually hired. The authors of this article argue that it’s time to do more to make skills-based hiring a reality, and they present six ways that companies and hiring managers can do so.
