Social Media has enabled job seekers in the global economy to identify and apply for new opportunities nearly effortlessly, which presents both challenges and opportunities for talent acquisition and HR teams that are charged with retaining and recruiting top talent; voluntary employee turnover, time to hire, quality of hire, and cost per hire are typical key performance metrics.
Joberate’s platform measures a person’s job-seeking activities by extracting relevant information about the person from global Social Media data, and applying data science and machine learning to convert the information into a patent-pending, job seeking activity metric called J-Score™. Blue chip companies have already started using Joberate to power a whole new generation of real-world business applications in recruitment and retention of talent, while emerging applications are developing for sales and account management, alternative credit scoring, financial hedging and risk management, succession planning and M&A integration, and social and economic research.
“Joberate’s platform will perform analysis of job seeking activities of more than 1.8 billion people globally over the next three years, which represents nearly half of the world’s employable population that will have a unique J-Score™,” said Michael Beygelman, CEO of Joberate. “Our technology demonstrates the power and the capability of leveraging social “big” data and machine learning, to provide real-time insights about observable job seeking behaviors of the global workforce; helping companies know more about their employee engagement, do a better job retaining their key people, and hire top talent quickly and cost-effectively.”
