The importance of capability over traditional credentials in the hiring process is emphasized, particularly in the context of evolving AI technologies. As attitudes toward four-year degrees shift due to rising costs, many talented individuals without formal qualifications are emerging. AI is not only changing productivity but also enhancing contributions from those lacking formal education. This technological shift allows individuals to perform tasks previously reserved for skilled experts, enabling broader participation in the workforce, especially for those equipped with the right tools and support.
I began my career in neuroscience-not in business, not in engineering, not in HR. When I became head of product at GitLab, I hadn't managed a product team before.
At Remote, we focus on capability over pedigree. What someone can do matters far more than what their resume suggests.
AI is already changing how people work. But if we want it to improve how we hire, we must apply it deliberately.
Less talked about, however, is that it has also changed what it means to contribute. People with less formal training can do more, faster.
