Skills Based Hiring Pilot in NEO

TalentNEO, a regional initiative in northeast Ohio, is sponsoring a no charge, pilot program for skills based hiring by manufacturers.

“TalentNEO connects companies and jobseekers in NE Ohio using WorkKeys® assessments to articulate and quantify cognitive workplace skills. Driven by business and supported by multiple stakeholders, TalentNEO promotes and supports employers’ use of WorkKeys skills scores in their hiring process to increase applicant pool size, improve retention rates, and reduce costs. TalentNEO aims to expand employment opportunities for jobseekers who have the required skills but lack the educational credentials or experience traditionally used to screen job applicants.”
