'We all want to know how to highlight somebody based on their real talent, not just what jobs and companies and other keywords they cleverly list in their credentials,' said Riley
a platform built to transform the way companies hire talent, Joanna Riley was named one of the 100 highest-ranking women in technology. She is also an active member of the entrepreneurship community as both an early-stage investor and Chapter Chair ofNeedless to say, she is called on to do her fair share of public speaking on talent acquisition.
One of her favorite presentations involved playing a little trick on her audience."We were talking about hiring and assessing credentials, and I put up two 'hypothetical' backgrounds on the screen," she explained in a recent interview."One of them included an Ivy League graduate who had worked at various big banks and was running an investment fund. The other was a college drop-out who was traveling and dabbling in art.
Most of the room picked the banker, of course, which made their embarrassment all the more acute when Riley revealed the identity of the banker as the notorious Bernie Madoff and the artist-wanderer as Steve Jobs– real life examples of the limits of relying too much on those snapshots of human potential we think of as credentials.
"We all want to know how to highlight somebody based on their real talent, not just what jobs and companies and other keywords they cleverly list in their credentials," said Riley, who is earning an MBA at Harvard as part of the school's President Program. A former elite rower in the U.S. Junior National Team and at the University of Virginia, where she earned her degree in Foreign Affairs, Riley learned early on that who sits in the seats next to you determines your success. As a business leader, this lesson came home to her when she journeyed to 110 countries to ask executives to identify their greatest asset, challenge, and fear.
