TALENT ACQUISITION, RECRUITMENT & RETENTION
Climb Credit | March 10, 2023
FinTech firm, Climb Credit, introduced yesterday the ClimbTalent platform to increase access to career training. The platform links job-ready talent with diverse educational and career backgrounds. Employers, staffing agencies, and recruiters seeking new hires can connect with upskiller and career-switcher community members.
With the ClimbTalent platform, Climb Credit is utilizing its extensive experience and data acquired from over 8 years in the career training industry to facilitate the swift and assured hiring of candidates with non-traditional technical backgrounds by employers. Climb is teaming up with firms seeking to fill vacancies in fields such as software engineering, data science, cybersecurity, and other technical roles and linking them to their pre-screened pool of over 100,000 proficient members from more than 200 school alumni communities.
Employers increasingly recognize the value of non-degree career-focused credentials and look at skills rather than degrees when hiring. Focus on skillsets provide access to a diverse pool of skilled candidates, with 60% of the US workforce lacking a college degree. However, career-switcher alumni from such programs still face obstacles in finding jobs, including evaluation of education providers and skills mapping. These challenges often result in employers relying on traditional degree requirements, which filter out qualified skill-trained candidates.
The platform aims to assist businesses in overcoming obstacles to recruitment and concentrate on the necessary job-related abilities. It provides job-ready resources to proficient candidates, such as resume guidance, mentoring, and technical interview support. These tools help graduates communicate their skill sets more effectively and demonstrate how they can translate into different job roles.
Casey Powers, CEO of Climb Credit, said, "Over the years, we've been able to witness the positive impact that skill-based education can have on people." She further added, "After years of pursuing our mission to increase access to career-advancing education, we're ready for the next step, to help their graduates enter careers and fill workforce gaps with strong, capable employees."

MMC | March 17, 2023
MMC, Inc., a Human Resources Outsourcing company (HRO), today announced it has replaced its on-premise legacy communications systems with RingCentral, Inc. (NYSE: RNG), a leading provider of global enterprise cloud communications, video meetings, collaboration, and contact center solutions, to drive an improved client experience, streamline employee workflows, and deliver IT cost savings. After migrating 3,000 of its employees to RingCentral MVP® (Message Video Phone™), MMC realized substantial savings on its business communications costs.
Known for its expertise in HR outsourcing, payroll, benefits administration, and other business processes, MMC was looking for a cloud solution that could provide greater mobility for its employees and would allow them to more efficiently connect and communicate with clients. By implementing RingCentral MVP, they have enabled employees to increase productivity and efficiency through the use of a cloud-based business phone service, video conferencing, digital fax, and SMS–on any device from virtually any location. As a result, MMC has streamlined employee workflows, increased accessibility to clients, and empowered remote workers.
“What sets us apart from the larger competitors is our white glove service delivery. We care about our customers’ experience and go that extra mile to ensure the highest service delivery possible. This means being accessible to clients when they have questions, concerns, or require assistance,” said Raul Terrazas, manager of information technology at MMC. “With RingCentral, we are now able to seamlessly communicate with clients from virtually anywhere using our office phone, mobile, or PC. Given how many employee workflows we’ve been able to improve across our company, how much visibility we’ve gained into our client communications, and how much money we’ve saved — not to mention how effortless the implementation itself was — my only regret is not migrating MMC to RingCentral sooner.”
In the company’s next unified communications transformation phase, MMC’s IT team plans to roll out RingCentral MVP to their sales and support teams and optimize those operations with the RingCentral for Salesforce integration. This integration will enable them to consolidate platforms for the company’s agents, reduce the number of vendor relationships for Terrazas’ team to manage, and streamline agent workflows for added speed and efficiency.
“We are thrilled to work with MMC on their cloud transformation—leveraging the strengths of our unified communications platform,” said Carson Hostetter, chief revenue officer at RingCentral. “By shifting to RingCentral, MMC is driving greater operational efficiencies and improvements in both customer and employee experiences.”
