How One Company Hires Refugees Through a Skills Passport

In this episode of The Diversity Career Podcast with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how one German tech company, SAP, partnered with the Tent Foundation to launch a skills passport program for refugees. The program identifies transferable skills from refugees' home-country experience and matches them to open roles without requiring German-language fluency or credential evaluation. Lucas breaks down the concrete numbers: over 300 refugees placed since 2022, with a 90% retention rate after one year. Luna raises the challenge of scaling beyond a single corporate partner and asks whether this model could work for smaller firms. The conversation also touches on the broader lesson: that credential transparency can unlock talent pipelines that traditional hiring misses.
