Part 4: Coming back at you with another Equity Edge insight 🧠

Let’s talk about why ā€œhiring for potentialā€ isn’t the diversity strategy you think it is.

On the surface, it sounds inclusive. But here’s the problem:

āœ… It skips the first, critical step: learning how to see true qualifications—without bias.

Too often, highly qualified, overqualified candidates from marginalized communities are overlooked because workplaces still struggle to look beyond factors that don’t predict job performance.

āŒ And when we position ā€œpotentialā€ as the reason for hiring underrepresented candidates, we reinforce a dangerous and false idea:

That they’re not being hired on merit.

The Equity Edge unpacks this and gives you a better framework.
