We explore how large-scale data and algorithmic approaches can improve assessment and automate recruitment processes. Using the case score, an empirically derived metric for comparing educational attainment globally, we demonstrate how standardized skill signals can enhance both efficiency and fairness in candidate selection. While education and skills are often framed as opposites in hiring debates, our approach shows that educational qualifications can serve as powerful proxies for skill when interpreted through robust data models. The talk includes a case study from DHL, showcasing how the integration of the case score can lead to measurable improvements in preselection quality, automation, and candidate diversity. We conclude by discussing broader implications for the future of skill-based hiring and education-to-employment transitions.
