Skills matching: The new future of work (Work Reimagined)
Channel: ThinkTech Hawaii
Date: 2021-01-14

How AI connects workers to jobs.  The host for this episode is Ruby Menon.  The guest for this episode is Sean Hinton.

Why is it that job seekers complain that they never hear back from employers and employers complain that they can't find workers? Our labor market is broken and is even more fragile now that we need to reskill our workers for the jobs of the future.
 
How do we do a better job of identifying workers' skills to match them to available jobs in the labor market? Companies like SkyHive are tackling the problem head on by leveraging machine learning and AI technology.
 
Ruby will be speaking to the CEO of SkyHive, Sean Hinton (https://www.skyhive.io/; https://www.skillpassport.org/) about how they use their proprietary technology to address this disconnect in our labor market.
 
Their technology builds a skills passport for each worker and provides employers with real time labor market data to shorten the recruiting cycle by effectively matching people to jobs.
