The Talents Ascend white paper addresses small business hiring challenges and proposes AI-driven, skills-based matching as a solution. Traditional hiring often suffers from bias, high costs, time delays, and lack of HR expertise, leading to poor matches and turnover. An AI skills-based model evaluates candidates on abilities, not resumes, and uses blind matching to reduce bias, expanding access to diverse talent. It cuts time-to-hire by up to 30%, lowers costs by $1,200 per hire, and reduces turnover by 20–30%, saving thousands annually. Benefits include improved outcomes, inclusivity, scalability, and affordability, leveling the playing field for small firms. A concierge option adds tailored support, boosting efficiency and candidate experience.
