Job-Seekers Find ‘UpSkilling’, Career-Building and Employment Opportunities in Real-Time Through tilr ™ Partnership with TrainUp.com
tilr ™, a Cincinnati, Ohio and Toronto, Ontario-headquartered corporation, hosting newly launched skills matching and skills mapping, patent-pending hiring technology, connecting job-seekers to employers in real-time, recently announced a partnership with TrainUp.com.
The collaboration, enabling tilr’s job seekers from across North America to have instant access to curated training courses offered via TrainUp.com, will allow for ease in upskilling and reskilling online. New qualifications will be automatically added within an individual’s tilr profile, building upon their skill-sets and connecting them to better job opportunities, all without ever having to leave the tilr mobile application.
Companies that use the tilr tool will have ways to improve their human resources potential, saving HR time and costs, with access to a real-time skills database of their internal workforce and the opportunity to chart development plans to hire from within.
tilr Co-Founder and CEO, Stephen Shefsky, said:
“We are excited to partner with TrainUp.com, a leader in the online and virtual live workforce education space, and we are ready to offer their superb upskilling programs as an integral aspect of the cutting edge resources we provide to both job seekers and the companies that hire them. The COVID-19 crisis has disrupted North America’s workforce and left millions furloughed, fired and/or displaced. tilr allows the job seeker to navigate around antiquated keyword search, job board technology.”
TrainUp Founder and CEO, Jeremy Tillman added:
“I’m excited about the tilr partnership and being part of the shift from standard resumes to skill based hiring and for us, skill based learning. ‘Skills’ are inherently less biased, provide the best platform for evaluation and allow for the most agility when looking for work. TrainUp.com offers the learning-versatility job seekers need to improve their skills through a variety of learning modalities and soon we will introduce one-on-one coaching in addition to self-paced and virtual live learning options, seamlessly blended together in a variety of skill institutes. In addition to having quick access to self-paced options curated by skills, TrainUp.com will offer tilr users discounts of up to 25% on learning across more than 125 TrainUp.com categories. ‘Skill learning pages’ will present a variety of opportunities to make it easy for tilr users to ‘upskill’ and there will also be an opportunity for users to share their own insights and learning experiences, allowing the tilr and TrainUp.com communities to learn and grow together”.
