"This skills-based approach to talent management drives not only better hiring and business outcomes, but also drives more equitable talent outcomes. Skills are five times more predictive of job success than credentials. By evaluating candidates based on skills instead of college degrees, we also remove credentials that are not equitably distributed across the United States."
