Does the fact I didn’t go to a top university mean I’m not talented? There is so much talent at universities that are outside of the Russel group university’s. Yet that’s the only place companies look to recruit talent. And then they are surprised when there is no diversity of thought in their organisation. There are very talented people in Russel group universities, But there are also people who go there because of their background , the school they went to , the family or area they grew up in. So there are talented individuals that are not in Russel group universities not because they are less talented. But circumstances just didn’t go in their favour. If you are only going to the top universities to recruit talent you’re doing yourself a massive disservice. Some of the most talented people I’ve met didn’t go to some of the top universities. You are also inadvertently feeding into providing opportunities to only the people who came from better backgrounds and disregarding those that came from less fortunate backgrounds. This is known as the ‘Matthew effect’ Which refers to a pattern in which those who begin with advantage accumulate more advantage over time and those who begin with disadvantage become more disadvantaged over time. The result is ever-widening differences between the advantaged and disadvantaged. Some Recruiters are actually widening the gap between the advantaged and the disadvantaged with out realising. Please be very mindful of this. In 2024 I have a mission! Integrate entrepreneurship into the work place. → Most companies don’t know how to hire A - player talents from Gen Z and how to keep them in their company. Gen Z grew up in a very complex generation so their skill sets from a young age are very unique. Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012, currently accounts for about 2 billion of the world’s population and is expected to represent 27 percent of the workforce by 2025. Through posts like this and The Gen Z Club I’m going to empower my community to become A players.
