Should companies hire and train tech workers who lack traditional degrees?
Red Alpha Singapore and nuKudo combined under the new brand Aleph, which launched a global website presenting its employer services and career pathways. The merged business covers recruitment, training, workforce deployment, professional services, and AI-related consulting.
Why it matters
Conventional recruitment often overlooks people without standard credentials who have the analytical and problem-solving skills needed for technical roles. Aleph's model seeks to develop workers for clients rather than only sourcing existing candidates from the market.
Aleph reports more than 35,000 candidates assessed, 3,000 professionals trained, and 500 associates deployed across its combined track record, with a 2 per cent applicant acceptance rate. Independent verification of these company-reported figures is not provided.

Market Landscape
Aleph's aptitude-first model positions it against conventional recruiters that rely on formal credentials and CV history to screen technology candidates. The move reflects a broader push by employers to fill specialist technology roles from non-traditional talent pools as AI projects move into daily business use.
Jobseekers without a traditional IT background may find aptitude-based assessments a more accessible entry point into technology careers. Employers seeking specialist talent may be able to access candidates through paid programmes that develop workers for their roles.
The takeaway
Aptitude and problem-solving ability can matter as much as formal credentials in technology careers. Jobseekers exploring technical roles may benefit from looking beyond degree requirements when assessing their fit for a field.
