Usage of present participle

In the following sentence, what I needed to express was after the third industrial revolution companies started to give priority to applicants with proper academic qualifications. Therefore, education has become essential for an individual. I would really appreciate it if someone could let me know whether the following sentence expresses the same meaning as the above or not especially in the present participle clause "recruit giving priority to employees ".


Education has become a sine qua non for a successful person especially since the third industrial revolution after which commercial organisations took initiatives to recruit giving priority to employees with excellent academic qualifications.
