Love this analogy. Everyone showcases their skills in different ways, and we definitely want to help more people shine in whatever run they perform best in.
Here's an analogy. The current method is like qualifying for a marathon by having candidates run a 100m sprint. A better method is using a half-marathon as the qualifying test. Great marathon runners will probably pass both the 100m sprint and half-marathon tests. That said, some pretty good runners will fail the 100m sprint but pass the half-marathon test with flying colors.
Hatchways is changing the qualifying criteria from 100m sprint to a half-marathon so more people can qualify for the race!
