John is referencing a recent meta-analysis, a study of 81 studies across a wide range of jobs. The finding: past experience rarely predicts future performance. What matters is past performance and current motivation and ability. It's how well people can learn to do a job, not how long they've already done it. Job postings with minimums years of experience often prevent promising people of color from getting a foot in the door. [1]
