🔦 Weekly Spotlight

The transformation in tech hiring practices deserves special attention this week. Traditional degree requirements are giving way to skills-based evaluation, with 60% of tech companies now actively seeking candidates based on practical capabilities rather than educational credentials. This shift is particularly evident in tech sales, where 85% of alternative training program graduates secure roles within three months. These changes signal a more inclusive and dynamic tech workforce, creating opportunities for career changers and non-traditional candidates.
