'Talify' is a new job-matching tool that is trying to reimagine the recruitment process. With more and more college graduates struggling to find full-time employment, this tool aims to ensure that the right candidates are chosen for the right opportunities.
'Talify' is a revolutionary job-matching tool that connects undergraduate students to career, internship and volunteer opportunities that fit their specific goals. However, instead of matching candidates based on their skills, this platform looks at personality and willingness to succeed. On the student end, the platform provides individual coaching to help students put their best foot forward. On the employer end, Talify will rank candidates based on who is most likely to succeed. The overall idea is to improve the quality of the screening process and the selection outcomes for companies to ensure successful hires.
