SkillGigs Upgrades Platform for Streamlined User Experience

On March 13, 2023, SkillGigs, Inc., an ecommerce talent marketplace connecting skilled healthcare and technology professionals with AI-matched job opportunities, introduced a new platform experience for its users. The redesigned platform will provide job seekers and businesses with a more intuitive and user-friendly direct sourcing application.

Employers and candidates can now efficiently create listings and screen through matches, as well as effectively negotiate compensation throughout the interview process with the platform's bidding functionality. In addition, the platform's interview scheduling, critical credentialing management, and onboarding functions have been enhanced.

SkillGigs is a ‘job matchmaker’ committed to empowering candidates and bringing top employers and talent together. Job seekers with SkillGigs profiles use the company's proprietary AI-powered 3D Resume tool to present themselves to prospective employers and match their skills suitably.

The platform exemplifies the power of direct sourcing and the benefits of avoiding traditional third-party recruiters for employers. Employers who leverage SkillGigs have access to a thoroughly vetted, continuously updated talent pool and receive AI-matched candidate profiles. Employers can message and offer compensation bids directly to candidates after matching, resulting in significantly higher response rates—over 60% on average, compared to 2-5% on other platforms. When the candidate indicates ‘interested,’ the interview process can commence. All credential management, interview scheduling, and billing can be managed via the platform, resulting in a more efficient and transparent hiring and onboarding procedure.

New features after the upgrade include a unified user journey within the platform, advanced search options for positions and skills, an enhanced user interface with more sign-in options, ratings and reviews, better messaging and an applicant tracking system (ATS) for employers.

About SkillGigs.com

SkillGigs, Inc. is an AI-powered ecommerce talent marketplace connecting healthcare and technology job seekers with direct-to-employer opportunities. Founded in 2017, the company aims to streamline the hiring process by providing a direct connection between employers and job seekers. The platform's AI matching system matches job seekers with job openings that fit their skills and preferences, allowing for more productive and transparent negotiations. In addition, its technology-driven approach empowers job seekers and employers alike, leading to better retention rates and more earning potential for both parties.

Eightfold AI, the leader in AI-powered talent intelligence, today announced Skills-Based Talent Planning. Eightfold Talent Planning is a solution for organizations to analyze, forecast, and future-proof their workforce by assessing skills and resourcing gaps in real-time. This is an effective way to reduce the risk of costly and disruptive reorganizations and withstand unpredictable industry shifts. Today, enterprises rely on ineffective spreadsheets to plan their workforce, without a true understanding of talent and skill trends, such as a sharp rise in digital skills within financial institutions.

Eightfold Talent Planning allows business leaders to understand how these trends impact the needs of their organization. Eightfold feeds this insight into its industry-leading Talent Acquisition, Talent Management and Talent Flex solutions, allowing organizations to execute skills-based talent strategies at scale.

"The result is an intelligent, easy-to-use offering that will allow business leaders to grow flexibly instead of being forced to execute on expensive, reactionary workforce changes." Eightfold Talent Planning makes having a future-ready workforce a continual part of the talent process instead of a one-time exercise. This creates a strategic advantage, better aligning workforce planning with business objectives and allowing HR leaders to: Leverage a global talent data set, including from the existing workforce, providing insights on people and industry talent trends Understand market disruption's impact on every role: learn which skills will become more important, and which will reduce in prominence Identify the talent to attract, engage, upskill and re-deploy into future roles Forecast and scenario-plan the time required for skills and proficiency to develop in existing and emerging areas, and how roles and organizations should evolve over time Capture progress and fully execute on a coordinated talent plan by integrating with Eightfold Talent Acquisition, Career Hub, and the entire Talent Intelligence Platform "Utilizing robust talent data to inform and enhance actionable workforce planning - for both today's and tomorrow's needs, represents a massive step forward in the practical use of AI," said Kevin Moss, Managing Director, Workforce Planning Practice Leader, Deloitte Consulting, LLP.
