From Policy to Practice

States across the country are adopting skills-based hiring policies to expand access to talent.  The next challenge is putting those policies into practice. 

Whether you’re implementing skills-based hiring or preparing for the transition you’ll need partners like Phenom to provide the hiring technology, and Opportunity@Work to deliver deep expertise in skills-first hiring and access to the millions of workers Skilled Through Alternative Routes (STARs). 

Join us on Wednesday, September 2, at 1pm ET to learn how to: 

  • Translate skills-based hiring policy into everyday hiring workflows  without replacing your existing systems

  • Expand qualified talent pools by recognizing demonstrated capability beyond degrees and keyword matches, while keeping hiring teams in control of every decision

  • Make candidate evaluation more transparent and explainable through auditable scoring and decision support

  • Measure and communicate the impact of skills-based hiring with data that supports agency leadership, policymakers, and oversight bodies
