Interesting development. I read this online yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. Honestly, i think it's a double-edged sword. On one hand it will provide a level playing field for everyone. However, hope it doesn't leave a bad taste in the mouth of the genuine 1st class & 2.1 graduates who could feel short-changed after going through the rigour of coming out with good grades & now having to compete seriously with lower rung candidates. Anyway, having said all of that, from my experience as as a a professional accountant too who 's been there in a Big 4 Firm, I'll say just make your experience count by quickly acing your ACCA/ICAN exams and do all you can to gather the requisite experience in the first few years and make your mark early. This is to give you that extra edge outside the Professional practice industry, when you want to get out to catch bigger fish cc: Lalasticlala Obinoscopy Seun 3 Likes |

@ Nikkygal, I don't think they are removing degrees totally as an entry requirement. They seem to be saying that they don't care if you made a 2'1, 2'2 or third class as long as you can prove yourself in the recruitment process. They seem to be hiring only graduates. 1 Like |

blank: Okay, thanks for that. Let me modify my post then. Nonetheless though, it will make recruitment more 'interesting' in that space....lol! There'll definitely be quite a few surprises springing up from this. |

AjanleKoko: Not only EY. PwC too has removed minimum A-Level scores for assessing candidates. Deloitte has removed university attended in assessing candidates. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-34384668 Many are moving to the more reasoned, but also more tedious, process of assessing stored potential rather than achieved potential (which is susceptible to privilege). I have always stated on NL that degree class is not evidence of high intellect. It is just a correlation and a possible sign of interest in that particular field. https://www.nairaland.com/754330/second-class-lower-graduates-still/8#9126584 Someone getting a 1st class in International Development is not necessarily a better candidate for a position in an accounting firm than another getting a 2:2 in Philosophy. Secondly, people develop their intelllect at difference phases. Even Obama was not really that smart until his late 20s. So it does not make sense to judge ability and potential based on results that are dependent on development in teenage to early 20 years to understand potential of success in the future. I am a strong advocate of testing real raw IQ, EQ, VQ and RQ of job candidates. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Sagamite: I believe this is already being practised within the IT sector. Skills based testing should always be used over certificate based recruitment, because at the end of the day, it's really about what you can do, and a certificate can't really guarantee that. 1 Like |
