This webinar is about rethinking the way we source and place talent. Traditional hiring models—relying heavily on resumes, degrees, and past job titles—are no longer enough to meet today’s talent demands. In a market where roles are going unfilled and the pressure to deliver fast, high-quality placements is greater than ever, staffing firms need a new approach.
That’s where skills-first hiring comes in. It focuses on what candidates can do—not just where they’ve worked or what credentials they hold. This shift enables staffing firms to tap into overlooked, job-ready talent that can perform on day one.
In this session, we’ll break down how skills-first hiring leads to better results: faster time-to-fill, stronger performance, and greater retention. You’ll hear how top staffing firms are expanding their pipelines and solving client challenges by partnering with YUPRO Placement and accessing pre-vetted talent from workforce training programs, like Year Up United.
We’ll also share real-world success stories, practical partnership models, and next steps to help you start placing talent more efficiently—without lowering the bar.
