Adonea.ai

A hiring service being built to match people to jobs on what they can do, with clear requirements and working conditions up front. It is aimed at people whose age, disability, neurodivergence, caring duties or career gaps get them overlooked.

Why I recommend it: Still in development, so there may be little to use yet. Check the site for whether it has launched and what it costs.

A roundup of 2026 hiring data — job openings, applications per role, skills-based hiring and time-to-hire — with the sources behind each figure.

Why I recommend it: Published by a university that sells degrees, so read the education-related claims with that in mind; check the linked original sources before quoting a number.

The ROI of Resilience: Cybersecurity Talent Management (Executive Summary)

Research summary showing skills-based, talent-friendly hiring practices save over $125,000 per cybersecurity worker through faster hiring and better retention, with a focus on widening pathways for women.

In plain terms: This research report shows how cybersecurity employers use skills-based hiring, mentorship programs, and ongoing training to retain talent. You can use this data to identify workplaces that support professional growth and clear promotion paths for women.

Why I recommend it: Good ammunition if you're arguing for skills-based hiring internally — it puts a dollar figure on it.
