As an SDR leader it frustrated me to only be able to hire SDR's from certain schools, that fit certain profiles (athletes, in a frat/sorority, or were in a club, 3.2+ GPA). What about people that were on the grind and paid they own way through school and didn't have time for clubs, or couldn't dedicate all of their time to school because of work so they didn't have a very high GPA. I worked at Oracle and that was a major frustration of mine there.
I work for a fast growing startup and they are taking on the same mindset. I'd love to hear some thoughts or opinions on this? I would much rather take someone who has had some adversity in their life over someone who's never experienced hard times and wouldn't know what to do. If it were up to me I wouldn't even require that an SDR have a college degree.
