Mission-Driven

Purpose

Founded by Robyn J. Grable, a U.S. Navy veteran and former military spouse with over 30 years in human capital strategy, Robyn is a recognized speaker, author, and award-winning advocate. Talents ASCEND was built on the belief that every individual deserves the chance to be seen for their true value — and every organization deserves access to the right talent.

As the creator of Talents ASCEND, Robyn pioneered the use of AI-powered, skills-first talent matching—technology that powers the workforce connections behind the scenes. With a unique, deep human perspective, she understands the antiquated processes, the stigma, and, most importantly, the potential in people that is too often overlooked.

Robyn’s work centers on dismantling systemic barriers and building pathways to meaningful employment. Today her focus is on amplifying advocacy and driving action, ensuring that individuals are not judged for where they’ve been, but valued for what they’re capable of contributing.

Transforming hiring from a process into a purpose.

At Talents ASCEND®, we’re redefining the way employers connect with talent through a skills-first approach that values people for their abilities, not just their resumés.

Our AI-powered platform removes bias from the hiring process by matching candidates to opportunities based on verified skills, experience, and potential. 

We proudly support a diverse range of candidates, including veterans, military spouses, and underserved job seekers, helping businesses build stronger teams and more inclusive workplaces. By combining data, technology, and heart, Talents ASCEND is transforming hiring from a process into a purpose.
