Digital Badges Are Essential for Employers and Candidates Now More Than Ever
Data collected by the UK’s Office for National Statistics reveal that, in just the last three years, 14% of 138,000 HR managers and directors have dealt with at least five examples of employees not holding the qualifications they claimed. That’s nearly 100,000 employees, working in Britain, having lied to get jobs they were not qualified to do. To prevent future deceptions, companies must leverage the ingenuity of digital badges today.
Digital badges, such as those offered for free with Oracle Certification, are also a boon for genuinely qualified job seekers, allowing them to:
-
Demonstrate qualifications on CVs as well as social media.
-
Increase the likelihood of securing a job offer over an unqualified candidate.
-
Show professionalism and concern for the employer, by minimizing their time to vet the job application.
