Purpose

Our team works with integrity and purpose to make a difference for the communities we serve, including military families, diverse-ability individuals, justice-involved talent and our clients. With a mission-driven, service-oriented approach, we are passionate advocates for creating thriving communities.

Founded by Robyn Grable, US Navy Veteran and Talent Optimization and Workforce Strategist. Following nine years of service, Robyn was told her civilian career would have to start at the bottom because her skills from the military wouldn’t translate.

Although it took her several years to climb back up, Robyn used her superpower to transform hiring barriers into career bridges. An award-winning advocate, speaker, author, entrepreneur, CEO, and proud Navy veteran Robyn Grable does many things. Yet woven throughout her diverse pursuits is a mission of service—and a passion to give a voice for underserved talent to be included.

She created Veterans ASCEND in 2018 which expanded to what we are today, Talents ASCEND®. We are the leader in skills-based hiring. Affordable access to diverse, high-quality talent for small businesses.
