Do you consider education level when hiring employees?

Keith V.

Do you consider education level when hiring employees if you own a small business? With the plethora of knowledge available for certain lines of work on the internet, it seems like someone without a college degree or even a high school diploma could be more qualified for the task. Please let us know what your business entails and what your thoughts are. Thanks.

    Yes. If long hours are needed for grinding through some code, I will need someone willing to start off running with the group. They will get burned out quickly with just a new degree, but they will have a level place to start. History, work ethic, work experience, interests, stability, confidence are important and considered in lieu of a degree, based on the position such as, helpdesk/desktop, admin, or IA\IS.  Supervisory and management need to show continued personal growth with a higher degree.  Without it, it isn't fair to the company, staff or customer to have a less prepared representative and just assume that they may figure it out. Just My take.
