At Dyson, the consumer electronics company, "experience doesn't help us very much and, in fact, it can get in the way," its billionaire founder says.

James Dyson, the British inventor and entrepreneur behind Dyson, has expressed his belief that work experience is overrated when it comes to hiring, according to an article published on Fortune's Europe edition on April 28, 2025. Dyson argues that companies should focus more on a candidate's potential, creativity, and problem-solving skills rather than their previous job experience. He emphasizes the importance of hiring individuals who can think differently and bring fresh perspectives to the table, which he believes is more valuable than a resume filled with similar past roles. Dyson's views challenge traditional hiring practices and suggest that businesses should adopt a more forward-thinking approach to talent acquisition.
