UK tech employers are shifting their hiring focus from prestigious academic backgrounds to practical skills and interpersonal abilities, as highlighted by mthree's Diversity in Tech report. The survey revealed that 39% of hiring leaders now view graduates from any university equally. The challenges of a digital skills gap and the fast-evolving tech landscape are pushing companies to seek candidates who can contribute effectively from day one. Issues such as a shortage of technical skills and soft skills hinder effective onboarding, necessitating a skills-first hiring approach.
Employers are increasingly focused on what graduates can deliver from day one. As technological change accelerates across every major industry, the ability to source and develop adaptable, job-ready talent is critical.
