Organizations say they hire for potential. But look closely at who actually gets hired. 📛 Same schools. 📛 Same companies. 📛 Same career paths. In practice, potential often means: someone who looks like people who already succeeded there. ⸻ Real potential doesn’t always look familiar. It shows up in people whose experience doesn’t map neatly to the role, but whose thinking, adaptability, and problem-solving stand out. That requires a different approach: looking beyond credentials and paying attention to how people work through problems. ⸻ Most organizations aren’t built for that. Job descriptions are specific. Interview processes reward pattern matching. So potential becomes another way of selecting for what feels familiar. ⸻ If your potential hires all come from the same backgrounds, it’s worth asking what you’re actually hiring for. #Hiring #Recruitment #Talent #CareerGrowth #Workplace #careeristically
