Skills-Based Hiring Platform Supporting INCLUSIVE Workplaces
Introducing MPOWER, a network that enables wide-scale implementation of a skills-based hiring approach to expand access and opportunity for diverse professionals.
The Problem…
Organizations want to build a more diverse workforce to maximize readiness for the future of work but face compounding challenges:
Massive demographic shifts due to a wave of retirements and an overreliance on degrees as a screening tool for hiring.
60% of U.S. workers do not have a 4-year degree. That number jumps to over 70% of black and brown workers. However, it is estimated that 4 million jobs can be re-credentialed to remove degree requirements to expand access to millions of workers and solve the impending U.S. talent crisis.
The Solution…
Support for employers to adopt a skills-first hiring approach to expand their talent pool and build a more diverse workforce. Career coaching, daily affirmations, and a professional network for diverse candidates to signal skills mastered from BOTH work and life to potential employers.
We are reframing the hiring process – from creating a community of candidates empowered to signal their skills to supporting employers to revolutionize their hiring process through a skills-first approach

If we continue using very narrow parameters to screen candidates, we will struggle to meet the growing demand for talent. By adopting a skills-first hiring process that focuses on identifying the skills a candidate needs to be successful in a role, employers can increase their qualified pool.
“ It’s long overdue that we have a formal movement in place to provide services and opportunities for those who are under-represented. MPower is that movement. I am confident that MPower will advocate for diversity & inclusion in the workplace. The future of networking, career development, and talent acquisition is changing. MPower is a first of its kind with a mission for its members and corporate partners who want more out of the career and candidate experience. What’s transpiring within the virtual walls of M2N is a monumental and long-awaited shift in the talent and career landscape.”
