We’re driving a skills-first movement for a more equitable and inclusive future workforce.
Hire Skills for Higher Returns.
For too long, companies have relied on traditional hiring and advancement practices which typically include a four-year degree requirement. Hiring for skills, not just degrees, means more competitive and resilient businesses and greater economic mobility for talent.


Hiring skills-first is 5x more predictive of future performance than a candidate’s education and 2.5x more than hiring based on experience.
Built on Talent
OneTen aims to close the opportunity gap for talent without four-year degrees. It starts with skills-first hiring.
