As all the others say, they want the cert and the status that comes with the cert.
It’s part of the reason everyone needs three years experience for an entry level job, a good student fresh out of education is worth little but then worth a lot if they learn fast. A bad student fresh out of education won’t learn at all and will be an active detriment, if only because they’re taking a seat someone better could take.
People who use AI for everything aren’t guaranteed to be bad students, but bad students probably will use AI for everything. The trick will be figuring out the difference.
Yeah, ultimately I think the root of the problem is how much HR is part of hiring and selection processes despite not really knowing how to evaluate the specific skills required to do the job. If skills were being evaluated rather than resumes and interview skills, then cheating your way to a degree would be pointless.
I know you want the business owners to work harder but I have a question for you:
How much do you wanna work for an interview? I applied to 50 places, I would quit society and become a hermit if I had to take an exam (evaluation whatever you wanna call it) for each one.
What if we had a place we can attend where we prove skills and they give us a paper which makes us skip this “skill evaluation” you are talking about?
Maybe some sort of paid interview where actual work is done. Like give them a real task to complete to demonstrate their ability to do that task (and then go over it with them to see if they know what is going on with it to rule out using an AI to do something they don’t understand).
Or have technical people handle the technical parts of the interview, people that will recognize when someone gives an answer to a problem that isn’t on the answer key but is actually the best answer they’ve seen for that question. I bet there’s tons of stories where some clueless HR person rejected someone because they were smarter than the answer key but the HR person had no idea and just marked them wrong. Except the stories don’t get told because neither party has enough information to realize just how idiotic the scenario was.

Hmm wonder what we can call it? Maybe a thesis? Practical course in XXX?
We can call the place where they hold this a university (universitas from Latin) maybe?
