Merrilea J. Mayo continues her consulting practice writing qualitative and quantitative reports for nonprofit startup and philanthropic clients. Her latest passion is skills-based hiring, the practice of skipping the resume and pedigree, and hiring solely on the basis of measurable skills. She writes: “Conceptualizing then implementing the systems to make this happen has been unadulterated joy in the use of Brown engineering skills for greater equity and social good (not to mention enough profitability for the systems to more than sustain themselves). It’s been a fantastic ride.”
