This shared language is based on the validated ACT WorkKeys® assessments and skill scores.
TalentNEO is a regional effort driven by business and supported by workforce development organizations, public agencies, schools, community colleges, social service agencies, adult basic education organizations, foundations and others. The purpose of TalentNEO is to demonstrate that when employers use ‘skills scores’ as a part of their hiring process, they increase the size of their applicant pool, improve retention rates, reduce costs and at the same time expand employment opportunities for job seekers who have the required skills but lack the educational credentials traditionally used to screen job applicants.
