Educators and employers now have an innovative new tool to help them access the talent they need; UnifyWork, the first workforce intelligence platform. This platform empowers regional talent networks through its patented skills-based technology and has recently raised an additional $3 million in funding, bringing the total raised to $7.5 million. UnifyWork was founded by Stephen McHale and enables equitable hiring while providing real-time data on job market supply and demand in order to unlock the economic potential of regions.
The platform’s patented skills-based matching technology is able to analyze job seeker skills, interests and work styles, and map them to nearly 1,000 occupations that the Bureau of Labor Statistics has documented across the United States. McHale spoke about the platform’s recent fundraising success: “We are inspired by the confidence investors exhibit in this challenging funding environment. This capital will help our team achieve our mission of informing, empowering, and fully engaging our workforce so individuals, businesses and communities can thrive. Quite simply, we’re making talent shortages a thing of the past. Our skills-based matching technology enables employers to hire individuals who can’t be found through job boards or staffing agencies.”
UnifyWork has a mission to ensure that everyone has access to work that provides a good living, embraces their unique skills and interests, and meets their needs for success in work and life. The platform networks educators and employers through data to transform the local workforce, addressing job market demand and making talent shortages a thing of the past.
The platform only allows individual livable wage or higher wage jobs on the network to advance its efforts to power inclusive prosperity. As well as transforming the workforce, UnifyWork is also helping K-12 schools and community colleges with their strategic initiatives in student career development.
UnifyWork is the perfect platform for educators and employers to access the talent they need, helping them to find the right people for the job and unlocking the economic potential of regions. With its patented skills-based matching technology, the platform is transforming the workforce, making talent shortages a thing of the past.
