Are Online Certificates Actually Worth It?

In this episode, we talk about whether online certificates from top universities like Harvard University, Bocconi University, and the University of Pennsylvania actually matter to hiring managers at investment banks, consulting firms, and big corporates. A recruiter’s perspective reveals how online learning from Coursera, edX, and similar platforms stacks up today, why old-school partners still do not trust them, and how this may shift as younger managers take over. We cover the real worth of electronic signatures, the difference between big-name schools and unknown providers, the role of tech companies like Google launching certificate programs, and what this means for the future of hiring. All direct, no fluff — just the cold, clear truth on whether that shiny online badge will open doors or just decorate a LinkedIn profile.
