Hardest Thing to Detect…

In a CV… Is the Person

  • Many new-age sectors – including green economy roles - need people who can work across disciplines. But honestly, it is not easy to identify that from a CV.
  • Even harder to detect are things like motivation, curiosity, and systems thinking. 
  • So, hiring decisions slowly drift toward proxy indicators - familiar college names, degrees, brand tags… not always the real capability behind the person.
