The companies will combine to create the largest and most comprehensive talent marketplace for technology, marketing, sales, and finance hires. ‍Hired uses AI-powered intelligent job matching to help tech talent find a job they love at the world’s most innovative companies including Box, Dropbox, Postmates and Twitch. It rigorously vets every candidate before they are accepted to the platform, resulting in a marketplace of high-intent candidates with a 90 percent response rate and 60 percent of candidates accepting an interview, thus saving employers an average of 45 sourcing hours per role filled. Vettery was launched on the premise of creating a more innovative and transparent hiring process, using its proprietary AI algorithms and analytics to quickly and successfully match employers to candidates in high-demand roles in technology, sales, and finance. Vettery partners with over 15,000 companies from innovative startups to established Fortune 500 companies to help them build world-class teams. In 2018, Vettery was acquired by global HR solutions company Adecco Group and the acquisition of Hired will continue Adecco Group’s commitment to data-driven recruitment technology. https://hrtechfeed.com/hired-com-acquired-by-vettery/ Trade Hounds, the largest professional community built exclusively for the construction industry, today announced the launch of its Jobs platform, which connects contractors directly with the skilled tradespeople they’re seeking to hire.

Consisting of a short 1-2 minute assessment that integrates seamlessly into the On-Demand Text interaction stage of the hiring workflow, Modern Hire’s Text-Based Assessments leverage job-relevant content and questions that measure candidates’ risk for turnover. The tool allows recruiters to apply powerful science and predictive analytics to the hiring process where it was previously not possible –– in text-based interview interactions –– to predict which candidates are at risk for turnover before they’re even hired. Text-Based Assessments also provide candidates with a quick, engaging experience that can be accessed on any device. The customized blueprint workflow consists of three phases: an On-Demand Text Interview screening to establish career stability and minimum qualifications, followed by a Realistic Job Preview and the pre-configured Virtual Job Tryout assessment designed specifically for telehealth. The final phase is an On-Demand video interview, where candidates can respond to scenarios they may encounter on the job, including difficult patient interactions, technical issues that may arise during virtual patient visits or follow-up questions about their qualifications. https://hrtechfeed.com/modern-hire-launches-text-based-assessments/ iCIMS, the Talent Cloud company that recently underwent a rebrand, has announced the acquisition of EASYRECRUE, the European leader in video interviewing and digital assessment capability. EASYRECRUE delivers a Talent Experience platform to optimize the candidate and employee experience, from recruitment to internal mobility. This acquisition triples iCIMS’ global footprint, now with more than 100 employees in EMEA, and extends the capabilities of the Talent Cloud, providing its user community of more than 330 million candidates and hiring professionals with an opportunity to leverage cutting-edge video interviewing technology and assessment capabilities. This supports the critical need for customers to globally interview and assess candidates digitally, through video. “EASYRECRUE’s innovative AI technology and support for virtual interviewing, talent assessments, and internal talent mobility solutions coupled with the iCIMS Talent Cloud will empower our customers to better identify, recruit, and invest in top talent,” said Steve Lucas, CEO of iCIMS. “We are thrilled to welcome Mickaël, the entire EASYRERECRUE team, and its community of nearly 400 customers as we expand iCIMS’ presence in Europe.” With the acquisition of EASYRECRUE, iCIMS’ customers will have the ability to integrate new live and on-demand video interviewing functionalities, scheduling capabilities, and customizable assessments in their use of the Talent Cloud. Similarly, EASYRECRUE’s customers will have the opportunity to seamlessly plug their solutions into the Talent Cloud, further supporting their ability to attract, engage, hire, and advance world-class talent. https://hrtechfeed.com/icims-acquires-video-interview-platform-easyrecrue/ OutMatch, a provider of digital hiring technologies, announced the acquisition of Checkster, a global provider of pre-hire and post-hire talent insights solutions. The acquisition of Checkster integrates best-in-class automated reference checking offering and post-hire insights into OutMatch’s Talent Decision Platform, which brings unique talent insights derived from the combination of assessments, job simulations, and video interviews. OutMatch empowers organizations’ talent decisions while delivering a candidate-driven recruiting experience. “The future of recruitment will leverage technology to drive efficiency for both recruiters and applicants alike,” says OutMatch CEO, Greg Moran. “Bringing the market-leading reference checking solution to the platform addresses a critical inefficiency in the hiring process by automating the time-intensive process of collecting candidate references. Integrating Checkster’s technology into our Talent Decision Platform will eliminate logjams in the recruiting process that frustrate both recruiters and candidates, while infusing more data for recruiters to identify the best talent.” Checkster’s post-hire tools bridge the gap between talent selection and job performance.

Register for free at rectechlive.com https://www.crowdcast.io/e/virtual-job-fair SmartRecruiters announced the acquisition of Berlin based jobpal, an enterprise-grade chatbot technology, to take recruitment efficiency to the next level. The move enters SmartRecruiters into the rapidly growing recruitment process automation (RPA) market, where the future of recruiting prioritizes human interactions and automates repetitive, time consuming tasks. In a world where TA leaders receive 4X the candidate volume but have half the resources on their team, automation is the only way to keep up and continue to offer great experiences to everyone. As the leading talent acquisition suite, automation will be deeply embedded into every step of SmartRecruiters’ recruiting workflow engine to unlock massive efficiencies for hiring teams. The feature will be rebranded as “SmartPal” “jobpal is where automation meets individualization,” shares Florian Schrodt, Head of Employer Branding at Zurich Public Transport. “The technology helps us improve thousands of candidate communications every month. With nearly 80% automated answers, our hiring teams are saving hundreds of hours that we can now dedicate to the most important task: relationship building and adding value to our candidates.” The companies’ existing partnership and integrated technologies means new products are available now. SmartRecruiters is excited to introduce SmartPal, a family of recruiting chatbots that put repetitive interactions on autopilot and drive meaningful candidate conversations throughout the entire recruitment lifecycle to accelerate Hiring Success. By embedding a conversational layer on top of SmartRecruiters’ core workflow engine, SmartPal converts candidates 3x better, saves time, and enables recruiters to focus on more strategic tasks. https://hrtechfeed.com/smartrecruiters-acquires-jobpal-chatbot/ Metaview, the Interview Intelligence Platform, today announced the launch of Interview Metrics, a new product that focuses on accessing data on job interviews to make them fairer and more effective. By recording and automatically analysing interviews, Metaview’s Interview Metrics enables organizations to access empirical data on how consistent and rigorous their hiring processes are for the first time. This launch is a major step for Metaview on their mission to reimagine how exceptional organizations build teams. Metaview was founded by team-builders from Palantir and Uber after they observed first-hand that interviews are the most outcome-defining step in any recruitment process. Despite commonly being cited as subjective and bias-prone, they determine who joins a team, and who doesn’t. Additionally, growing organizations spend thousands of people hours per year on conducting interviews. Metaview has recorded, transcribed, and analyzed over ten thousand hours of interviews in the last 18 months since raising a round of funding from Fly Ventures in Berlin, Seedcamp in London, and Village Global and Garuda Ventures in San Francisco. They count high-growth companies such as Bulb, AngelList, Careem, Wave, and Stedi among their customers. “Metaview was already the most effective tool for improving individual interviewers at Bulb. Now, Interview Metrics tells me more about the health of the interview process at large than it was ever possible to know previously. With this, I can ensure hiring managers and interviewers are getting the support they need to conduct great interviews, and candidates get the high-quality, fair interview process they deserve,” says Michael Laws, Head of Recruitment at Bulb. https://hrtechfeed.com/introducing-interview-metrics-measuring-what-matters-for-growing-organizations/ Remote, an HR technology platform for international payroll, benefits and compliance, today announced that it has secured $35 million in Series A funding led by Index Ventures and joined by Sequoia Capital, with additional participation from angel investors including Aaron Levie, Zach Weinberg, and Kevin and Julia Hartz.

JotForm Tables looks like a spreadsheet but acts like a database. This tool works by organizing form submission data, imported data and manually entered data into one feature-rich interface. It’s powered by a sophisticated forms engine, making data collection streamlined and simple. JotForm Tables lets HR teams: * Collect and organize applications * Manage PTO requests * Evaluate interviewees as a team * Create a checklist for new hires * And much more “Spreadsheets are great for working with data, but they have significant limitations and don’t work for HR teams looking to collaborate in a single workspace,” said Aytekin Tank, founder and CEO of JotForm. “So, we built something better – a tool that looks like a spreadsheet, but is much more powerful since it’s supported by a sophisticated online forms product.” https://hrtechfeed.com/jotform-tables-launches-as-a-new-way-to-manage-tedious-hr-tasks/ ADP®, a leading global provider of human capital management (HCM) solutions, is deepening its integration with ZipRecruiter®, the fastest-growing online employment marketplace2 and #1-rated job search app.3 ADP is the first HCM provider to make ZipRecruiter available directly to customers through its online platform. ZipRecruiter is now seamlessly embedded within ADP Workforce Now Recruitment, giving recruiters access to more qualified candidates and to intelligent tools that identify the best candidates for their roles. The integration includes several key features: Tools to help businesses find quality candidates faster: Businesses will be able to distribute their jobs across 100+ job sites and reach over 30 million job seekers a month via mobile and web.1 Businesses will be able to use ZipRecruiter’s sponsored job posts to receive ten times more applicants, on average, than organic job posts typically do.4 Four out of five employers who post on ZipRecruiter receive a quality candidate within the first day. ZipRecruiter’s industry-leading, smart-matching technology actively identifies qualified candidates and invites them to apply. Ease and flexibility: Job slots are flexible, allowing employers to easily swap a new job into a job slot or pause a search and activate it later. If employers need to sponsor more jobs, they will be able to purchase additional sponsored job slots through the ADP Workforce Now Recruitment Module in 2021. Employers who want to boost visibility of their jobs can purchase Traffic Boost within the Recruitment Module to drive additional applications in 2021. Seamless integration with ADP Workforce Now: Employers receive applications from candidates in real-time and view them directly in the ADP Workforce Now Recruitment module, eliminating complicated workflows, implementation time, and budget management. One-Click apply ensures companies don’t miss out on top talent due to lengthy applications. With ZipApply, candidates can apply to jobs with just one click. “ZipRecruiter is excited to provide a strong, reliable and streamlined solution for ADP’s customers at an especially challenging time in the economy,” said Ian Siegel, Co-Founder & CEO at ZipRecruiter. “ZipRecruiter’s tools are flexible, efficient, and easy, and free up time so that businesses can focus on adapting to changing business needs, innovating, and achieving their goals.” https://hrtechfeed.com/adp-deepens-partnership-with-ziprecruiter/ Juggle. Originally designed as a marketplace to allow executive-level women to re-enter the world of work in a flexible manner after having a family, it later expanded into a wider market for anyone wanting to work flexibly and for employers who need that kind of workforce. But with the world of work totally upended by the pandemic, “flexibility” is literally now the name of the game. Juggle has now disclosed its funding of $2.1 million from investors in the U.K. and the U.S. Investors include a number of the U.K.’s leading angels... With many businesses moving to flexible working arrangements, whether that means remote work, part-time, or shared roles, Juggle connects them with professionals that aren’t the typical “9-to-5” type people. Professionals sign up for the service, and recruitment tools allow them to schedule and keep track of job applications; coaching and support are available. Juggle also provides “smart matching” and the necessary paperwork to allow for these flexible roles. Businesses using Juggle to find the right candidate are

A reader wrote to me about the following problem she was encountering with scraped jobs off her company website; Do you have any tips on getting old, filled job posts off the internet?

Inclusively’s proprietary job matching technology gives candidates with disabilities the power to customize their job search utilizing ‘Success Enablers’ (also known as workplace accommodations).

The acquisition of talent assessment company, FurstPerson: Specializing in pre-hire simulation assessments, FurstPerson offers hiring managers and job candidates the critical information needed to make the smartest hiring decisions. FurstPerson’s simulation tools are a perfect complement to OutMatch’s video interview offerings, as well as the broader suite of OutMatch assessments, which measures communication skills, motivation, and other key traits.

The funds will be used to expand and scale Eightfold’s leading AI-powered Talent Intelligence Platform, a single solution for managing the entire talent lifecycle. Using a single platform to address this critical area stands in direct contrast to the disjointed point solutions commonly found in the talent management space. As a direct result of Eightfold’s innovative vision and dedication, the company is now valued at $1 billion and works with customers across 110 countries, 17 industries and 13 languages. Total funding raised to date by Eightfold AI is more than $180 million. Eightfold has more than quadrupled its sales since the last round of equity funding in April 2019.

What's life been like marketing jobs in the age of coronavirus? Seeing any uptick in applications? Great point about the 10 years ago thing…remote tech was not as good...what would we do? Session to focus on Employer Branding and Recruiting Technology. Some talking points: Recruitment marketing Tech Stack We leverage: Phenom People for: our careers website, Content Management System (CMS), Candidate Relationship Management (CRM), Chatbot, and Talent Analytics For our blog, we utilize it as a gateway for storytelling on LinkedIn - we keep our copy/stories short on LinkedIn, and usually provide a link to a blog post on our careers site to tell the full story, which gets users in our "ecosystem" - i.e. closer to applying. We also feature blog content in certain places across our careers site. For example, we have a Sales Development Associate program - we uploaded an "FAQ" blog for the role, and link to the article on the Sales Development Associate job posting page. LinkedIn for: employer brand awareness, as well as analytics and competitive insights into our performance against competitors Adobe Spark for: easy graphic design for employer branding content Phenom stats... Empl experience...Employer Branding in times of COVID-19 Keeping new hires engaged whilst we’re not in the office is a challenge many organizations are facing. We were particularly concerned about our interns – who were all coming into our internship program entirely remote. This summer was the inaugural launch of our formalized internship program, so it was critical that we not only educate about our business, but also embody our ‘at your side’ philosophy wherever possible. So leading up to the interns’ first day, we sent them a series of emails. Each email introduced the intern to a new person: the head of recruiting, the hiring manager, two generalists, and our company President. Each email had the person’s headshot, a personal message, information about our business and culture, and a personal, favorite “Brother” moment from the sender. Example: Finding ways to make your brand more human can help your company stand out in the competitive talent space. We have a chatbot on our careers site named Ays (short for At your side), and depending on the questions you ask, you may get a cheeky response. If you ask “Are you a human?” the chatbot will say it doesn’t like labels except if they are coming from a Brother P-Touch labelmaker, or if you ask a question it does not understand it will say “I seem to have run out of ink on this one – try rephrasing your question” Optimizing social media content to get important messages across Example: Our Black Lives Matter post, which took advantage of LinkedIn’s new swiping graphic capabilities with PDF documents. The post generated a 23% engagement rate, and received special recognition. How often do you post on social media? The value of Job Board Programmatic Advertising In the past, we would drop a lump sum of money to sponsor on a per job, per job board basis. Now, we strategically sponsor our jobs across a variety of job board networks, boosting spend to jobs that are performing well, and reducing spend to jobs that are performing poorly. Within just under a month of launch, the paid traffic from programmatic was 69% vs. 31% for organic. Years ago, we abolished Ziprecruiter as a job board channel, and now it is our #1 job board channel. Leveraging employee networks to amplify your talent brand and encourage referrals Example: Most promotions at Brother happen in July, and for the past 3 years we have provided custom graphics to people managers with promoted employees, encouraging them to share with their LinkedIn networks. This year, nearly half of eligible people managers participated, driving a 400+% increase in reactions and a 1,000+% increase in comments. July became our 2nd best month in the rolling calendar year for LinkedIn home page views, and our best month for unique visitors to our About and People pages as a result. Example: We all know referrals are great sources of hire for various reasons (low cost, and usually high performers) and user time on social platforms, particularly LinkedIn, has increased significantly amidst the pandemic. In competing for eyeballs, you want to stand out as much as you can. We recently created a social graphic and messaging that hiring managers and other employees can use to promote open roles to their networks. The image can be set as the OG image on our job posting pages, so that the link preview on social platforms will be hyper-customized. We also took advantage of utilizing emojis and Unicode text to further emphasize and stand-out. What’s in the pipeline/what are you working on that you are excited for? An article from our VP of HR about Brother’s incredible transformation over the years and support of employees, customers, and communities (both pre and post-pandemic) A corporate video highlighting all our products and services and brand philosophy Wher

Most employers don’t give a second thought to how it’s crafted. Yet a few forward thinking companies have figured out that even the lowly rejection email is your final chance to make a good “last impression” during the candidate experience. Case in point is Rejobify client BURNCO, based in Canada. They have had our rejection email service in place for more than a year now and regularly get responses from grateful job seekers who take the time to send their thanks for helping them move on with their job search. Here’s a sample of what they said. These are direct quotes sent to us by their Talent Acquisition Manager; “I am so impressed with this kind reply and the community spirit these words reflect. I'll be sure to investigate the link you have taken the time to share.” “Thank you. I appreciate what you have done to make my search easier.” “I appreciate the response. Thank you for being so kind and offering the help that you have.” “Thank you for your response. It makes such a difference as an applicant.” Aren’t these replies refreshing to read? By simply providing some job search resources and free advice to the ones you can’t hire, any employer can turn a negative experience into a positive one.

This Week in Rec Tech is Sponsored by Rejobify.com tilr ™, a Cincinnati, Ohio-headquartered and Toronto, Ontario-based corporation, proudly announces the launch of its new skill matching and skill mapping, patent-pending hiring platform. tilr ™‘s machine learning algorithm is based on unique ‘skills-matching’ technology that utilizes weighted skills, relevant occupations and other job preferences tailored to serve both the public and private sectors, including part-time and full-time workers, with a web application (‘App’) readily available for companies and governments, and a mobile application for job-seekers. This new version of tilr ™, combined with years of inputs from past matches, enables the technology to learn intuitively in order to ensure the best possible job match. Companies will be able to choose from a labor marketplace of readily available workers and identify where skills lie ‘in-house’, saving in both human resources time and costs, while eliminating bias in the onboarding process. Job-seekers can input their skills through tilr’s intuitive application or by using tilr’s resume-to-skill mapping technology. They will be able to then match their skill-sets with the positions best suited in real-time and further, find opportunities conveniently located near them and accommodating to their schedules. tilr ™ Co-Founder and CEO, Stephen Shefsky, stated that, “We are pleased to announce the launch of tilr ™‘s new skill-matching and skill-mapping technology. tilr ™ provides a fast, efficient and user friendly alternative to antiquated key word searches on job boards. This is the culmination of our Team’s investment in and dedication to continued technological originality, differentiating ourselves in automating and innovating the onboarding experience, one in my view that was previously inefficient in bringing jobs and job seekers together. https://hrtechfeed.com/tilr-launches-new-app-matching-job-seeker-skills-to-employment-opportunities/ Modern Hire, the all-in-one enterprise hiring platform that enables organizations to continuously improve hiring experiences and outcomes with trusted science and technology, announced its acquisition of Sonru, an Ireland-based provider of automated video interviewing technology. The combined organization offers the most comprehensive enterprise hiring technology product suite in the global marketplace, extending Modern Hire’s team, reach and expertise, and providing enhanced value to Sonru’s clients. Over the past decade, Sonru has established itself as a talent acquisition technology leader within the EMEA and APAC regions. Its video interviewing solution maximizes the candidate experience and enables recruiters to replicate a live interview by replacing early-stage phone, Skype or face-to-face interviews. Sonru’s technology reduces recruitment lifecycle time and costs by 50 percent. Its customers come from a wide variety of industry, including several Fortune Global 500 companies such as DHL, Nestlé, Qatar Airways, Rolls-Royce, UBS and Westpac. Incorporating Sonru into the Modern Hire brand expands Modern Hire’s client-facing presence to include offices and staff in Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific, enabling Modern Hire to serve most major regions and time zones around the world. “The Sonru and Modern Hire union brings together two companies focused on innovation with emphasis on the candidate experience,” said Ed Hendrick, founder and CEO, Sonru. “Our strategic decision to combine with Modern Hire allows us reinforce our clients’ leadership in enhancing the candidate experience with Modern Hire’s expanded suite of solutions. We look forward to contributing further to our clients’ success with the most comprehensive enterprise hiring platform globally, empowering them to use science and data to attract and engage the right talent.” https://hrtechfeed.com/modern-hire-acquires-another-video-interview-platform/ Handshake, the number one site for college students to find jobs and get hired, today announced the availability of an end-to-end virtual job search and recruiting solution.

This Week in Rec Tech is Sponsored by Rejobify.com Gem, a software platform for modern recruiting, today announced it has raised a $37 million Series B investment led by Greylock with participation from existing investor Accel, to double down on product innovation. This brings the total capital raised by Gem to $48 million. Gem is also launching Diversity Analytics, a new feature aimed at helping companies build diverse teams by giving them unparalleled visibility into the hiring funnel. Up to 80% of recruiting happens prior to a candidate applying for a role, meaning that recruiters and hiring managers are spending the majority of their time finding, nurturing and gaining the confidence of prospective candidates. Despite this effort, there’s been no way for teams to track and manage all their work before Gem’s all-in-one recruiting platform. “With Gem, our customers can build relationships with talent, ultimately filling open roles faster. The strong word-of-mouth growth among recruiters helped contribute to 4X revenue growth in 2019, and our best quarter yet in 2020,” said Steve Bartel, Co-Founder and CEO of Gem. “With this latest investment, we’re thrilled to continue expanding Gem’s product to help our customers meet their hiring goals, including through our newest feature, Diversity Analytics.” Gem’s platform integrates with LinkedIn, email, and customers’ Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). Its Chrome extension allows recruiters to source, get visibility into the entire history of a prospect’s interactions with team members, personalize messages, and schedule automated follow-ups—all without ever leaving a LinkedIn profile. Gem’s CRM gives talent acquisition leaders data about their teams’ performance, allowing them to better plan for, and achieve, their hiring objectives. With Pipeline Analytics, teams can measure things like time-to-hire for a particular role in a specific geography, or understand how many candidates they need in every stage of the funnel in order to meet their hiring goals. ## Jobcase, Inc., provider of a social platform dedicated to empowering and advocating for workers, has announced a significant new capital investment, with Providence Strategic Growth (PSG) acquiring a majority stake and Workday Ventures participating as a strategic investment partner. The investment includes $30 million of primary capital to accelerate Jobcase’s product development, member services, and employer partnerships. In addition, Jobcase is joining the Workday Software Partner Program. Jobcase is currently the third largest online destination for career services in the U.S. (as rated by Comscore), with more than 110 million registered members and 20 million monthly active unique users. As a community of “people helping people,” Jobcase seeks to provide the critical support that America’s workers need today to face unprecedented challenges. This investment and these partnerships will further support innovation like Jobcase’s recently released features – including virtual hiring events and an onsite unemployment resource center – to help workers and employers navigate their way through both existing work-life challenges and those that the COVID-19 pandemic has created. The funding will also transition controlling ownership of the company to PSG, Workday Ventures, and existing investor Savano Capital Partners, and exit long-time shareholder Link Ventures. ## Glassdoor - is partnering with their sister company, Indeed - the world's #1 job site, to provide new offerings to help employers attract, recruit and hire quality talent more efficiently. The two companies, while remaining separate with distinct brands and operations, became sister companies when Recruit Holdings, parent company of Indeed, acquired Glassdoor in 2018. We know that companies who tell their story well turn relevant candidates into hires. Employers will now have the opportunity to reach an unmatched audience of over 80% of U.S. online job seekers*, across industries, education levels, and years of experience. This partnership also allows Glassdoor to focus on our strength - workplace transparency - in order to help both job seekers and employers make more informed decisions.

This Week in Rec Tech is Sponsored by Rejobify.com Competitive Wedge, the video interviewing solution that helps recruiters make authentic connections with candidates, today announced details of its funding. The company completed the final tranche of its seed funding, bringing its total funding to $1 million raised to date. With social distancing now the norm, recruiters and candidates are unlikely to have in-person interviews anytime soon. The use of video has been ranked as one of the top work communications tools that are helping businesses thrive during the pandemic. Since resumes were never adequate to convey a job candidate’s true capabilities – especially in the hourly workforce – Competitive Wedge enables them to share their enthusiasm, skills and know-how through its one-way video interviewing platform. Wedge CEO, Matt Baxter, commented, “Wedge was designed with both the recruiter and candidate at the core. For recruiters, we streamline processes and reduce screening times. For candidates, they gain an anytime, any device job interviewing platform that enables them to use the communications medium they’re already familiar with – video – to express their interest in the open requisition and company.” Founded in 2015 by serial entrepreneur Matt Baxter, Competitive Wedge’s primary solution is Wedge, the one-way recorded video assessment that enables candidates to show their true selves.

Investors in the round include Suffolk Construction, one of the nation’s top construction companies, and CCS Construction Staffing, a premier construction staffing firm, reflecting the important role Trade Hounds plays in connecting participants across the construction ecosystem.

Skilled tradespeople benefit from a community of like-minded professionals where they can showcase their skills and find new career opportunities. David Broomhead, Co-Founder and CEO of Trade Hounds, said: “It’s always bothered me that tradespeople – the skilled workers who build our hospitals, schools and infrastructure – don’t have access to a technology platform that meets their professional needs.

Job Architect can be used as a stand-alone product or as an integrated part of Salary.com’s leading CompAnalyst® platform. Job descriptions are often created and stored in silos throughout an organization, creating challenges to hiring velocity and the overall strategy of talent management that often leads to the inaccurate pricing of jobs. Worse yet, over time, poor job descriptions make it difficult to retain valuable talent because compensation structures and skills sets are misaligned with the organization’s needs or expectations of employees. “We’re seeing unprecedented upheaval in how companies are defining jobs and managing the work that people do,” said Kent Plunkett, founder and CEO of Salary.com. “Job Architect helps companies manage their job content library to get job descriptions right and optimize the performance of their people.” https://hrtechfeed.com/salary-com-releases-job-architect-a-powerful-job-description-management-tool/ Vetty, a fast growing provider of an AI-based employee verification platform for gig-economy marketplaces and enterprises announced it is raising a Pre-Series A round of $4M USD.

Vetty is primed to capture market share in its fast growing industry sector by using these funds to grow sales and accelerate development of the platform. Vetty’s customers include industry leading companies such as Wag!, Bellhop and MASTERCLASS. “As an industry, we’re just scratching the surface of the background verification market,” Subrat Nayak, Founder and CEO of Vetty said. “We are working hard to truly dominate this fast-growing market and 3Lines has been more than an investor for us. They have created tremendous value by bringing in their expertise in the AI-enabled tech startup world and guiding us to steer clear of the pitfalls, and working with us on formulating key business strategies. We are confident, with their expert guidance, that we will continue to find success.” Vetty describes itself (https://vetty.co), as a fast-growing early stage company in the highly-fragmented background verification market with an AI-based employee verification platform for gig-economy marketplaces and enterprises to proactively manage hiring risks and enforce regulatory compliance. https://hrtechfeed.com/employee-verification-platform-raises-4-million/ iHire announces the general availability of its Virtual Outplacement Services.
