Microsoft doesn't require a college degree for entry-level jobs — here's what the company looks for instead, according to execs
Note
By not requiring certain credentials for entry-level jobs, Microsoft is able to recruit from a broader talent base and build diversity into its workforce. Many people who have non-STEM backgrounds have shown that they can introduce different perspectives to workplace discussions and decisions. The company has recognized that “soft skills like teamwork and curiosity, as well as a candidate’s willingness to self-train and learn quickly” are important indicators of high-performance individuals. Some managers believe that the fact that a non-degreed person applies for an entry-level job signals a level of tenacity and desire that is worthy of consideration.
