How Algorithmic Microcredentials Are Reinventing Professional Hiring

Episode 50 of Edtech Conversations explores a shift happening at the intersection of education and hiring: algorithmic microcredentials. Lucas and Luna break down how platforms like Credly and Badgr are using skill-based badges verified through real-time assessment data, not just course completion. They walk through a concrete case: IBM's internal credentialing system, which now replaces college degree requirements for nearly half of its tech roles. The hosts dig into how these credentials are scored, who audits them, and whether they actually predict job performance better than a traditional transcript. They also consider the risks — credential inflation, employer bias embedded in algorithms, and the potential for a two-tier system. A focused, evidence-rich conversation for anyone who hires, builds, or learns. #Microcredentials #Credly #Badgr #IBMCredentials #SkillsBasedHiring #Edtech #OpenBadges #AlgorithmicAssessment #LifelongLearning #HRTech #TalentAcquisition #CredentialInflation #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EdtechConversations #OnlineLearning Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
