Talents ASCEND is the beacon of intentional change for talent diversity, equity and inclusion

Intentional Inclusivity

Removing barriers to entry related to translating skills, translating experience to a resume, bias associated with gender, ethnicity, age, disability or background.

Skills Matching

Task based approaches are antiquated. Employers need to focus on what skills are needed to do each job and be matched directly to candidates with those exact skills.

Candidates vs Applicants

Employers don’t hire recruiters so they can spend time digging through applicant databases. They hire recruiters for their expert ability to engage with candidates.

No Applying First

Removing the barriers of applications and applicant tracking systems before the interview, ensures employers will receive the right talent for their organization.

Direct Connections

To military veterans, military spouses, people with disabilities, recent graduates, first responders, justice-involved/second chance and all other candidates.

Internal Alignment

Realign existing employees to new positions within the organization. Better utilize their skills, promoting from within rather than incurring turnover.

Together We Can

Remove barriers to entry related to translating skills or experience to a resume and all bias associated with gender, ethnicity, age, disability or background.
