for Hiring AND Advancement

A commitment to open standards can dramatically improve how job seekers, employers, and talent providers collaborate and communicate.

THE BENEFITS
of open standards

Employers are well-positioned to influence the economic mobility of their current and future employees with a commitment to open standards.

This commitment can lead to HR innovation, better prepared training partners, and public policy for  infrastructure that prioritizes workers’ needs.

          • Translate their proven abilities to new roles through portable records
          • Access details about increasingly dynamic hiring requirements
          • Discover and choose pathways towards advancement
          • Get intelligent recommendations for relevant opportunities
          • Experience a more equitable hiring process
          • Feel rewarded for learning new skills

          “Traditional hiring processes too often exclude job candidates that have the skills and experiences needed to thrive in an increasingly global economy. A skills-based talent marketplace would open up opportunities for workers and learners without degrees and enable employers to source talent equitably from a larger, more diverse pool of candidates."
