Our Mission

What we believe

We’re making career development and hiring simpler, more equitable, and more efficient — from the first hire after college all the way to retirement.

Our Story

From the garage to the globe

When Kenny and Adam started the company that became 12twenty, the goal was simple: help students negotiate fair salaries. But it quickly became clear that salaries were just the tip of the iceberg. Students, universities, and employers were largely flying blind through the entire hiring process, leaving massive gaps in efficiency and equity.

From there, a bigger vision took shape — to empower universities and employers with the tools and data they need to make better career connections, creating a more efficient and equitable hiring process for all.

But enough from us — here’s what customers think

Creating a better hiring process starts with making life easier for those who facilitate it.

“It is beyond exceptional customer services provided by the 12twenty team that is vital to the success of how we process and relay our outcomes”
