Deloitte is expanding its talent strategy by actively recruiting candidates without college degrees, focusing on real-world skills and experience to fill key roles. This approach addresses talent shortages by attracting skilled candidates often missed by traditional hiring practices.
The firm, with operations in over 150 countries and a global workforce nearing half a million, has introduced multiple pathways for applicants from non-academic backgrounds, according to Forbes. These include programs for professionals returning to work, individuals looking to enter new fields, neurodivergent talent, and military-affiliated candidates.
The company’s hiring framework is centered on ability, not academic credentials. Roles that previously demanded degrees are now open to applicants who can demonstrate relevant expertise. Active listings include positions in event planning, tech support, and consulting, many of which prioritize performance over formal education.
A dedicated portal allows users to search for roles and apprenticeships that don’t require a four-year degree. While education is still valued, the emphasis is on what candidates can do, not just where they studied.
Deloitte’s approach reflects an increasing demand for results-driven hiring and a more inclusive pipeline. By removing rigid degree filters, the company is building access routes for skilled professionals who may have been overlooked by traditional hiring models.
