EMPLOYERS - ARE YOU INCLUDING THE RIGHT SKILLS?
The Chamber of Commerce serving Middletown, Monroe, Trenton EMPLOYERS, are you tired of spinning your wheels to find the same nonqualified candidates on every job board?
Solving the problems that revolve around workforce challenges is quite complex and can take many paths.
With our new initiative, Skills2Careers, we are taking a skills -based approach.
We have partnered with a national technology company (Emsi/Burning Glass) that tracks real time labor market data and has more than 32,000 descriptive word skill sets in their database. Skills2Careers Our initiative uses stateof-the-art technology to remove barriers caused by employers not knowing what skills they need and job seekers not knowing the skills they have.
This skills-based approach is a simple concept, however many employers are slow to adapt. We work with local employers to help them create a more accurate job posting that includes the skills required.
The technology compares your job posting against all other postings in their database with similar job titles. The results are in various categories: key skills, relevant skills skill opportunities. and
The system also tells us if you’re using an obsolete job title. The findings of our research are returned to the employer who is able to develop a more effective job posting, listing the required skills of the
The same terms used in refining the job posting are the same terms used by job seekers to build their skills profile. This is the technology behind making an ideal match between employer and job seeker.
As employers, educators and job seekers begin to use skills as their common language, this will result in decreased hiring & onboarding time and an increase in retention of employees.
Remember, this is new, groundbreaking technology that is making the current system of identifying talent obsolete.
If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity and begin developing more effective job postings focused on skill sets, please call us at 513-422-4551. We would be happy to explain and assist you.
