UpMo Adds to its Social Talent Engine Platform with Talent Marketplace

Social talent provider UpMo has announced Talent Marketplace, a talent acquisition tool for recruitment collaboration and corporate role filling with internal talent. Talent Marketplace is an addition to the company’s Social Talent Engine and works to match existing talent with open jobs within an organization. Talent Marketplace’s search algorithms also integrate social feedback and employee-provided goals and preferences into the job match recommendation process. More fully, the solution provides:

• The automatic matching of open job postings with employees whose skills, preferences, and other data best match a job description, helping to eliminate the guesswork often involved in assigning talent to jobs.

• The ability for teams and individuals to collaborate and discuss the recommended matches thus gaining the ability to build a transparent pipeline of candidates.

• A social vetting process using social data to highlight possible candidates and give managers and recruiters a more comprehensive understanding of individual employees being considered to fill open roles.

“Companies continue to throw money at external recruiting, looking for saviors to ease woes, while ignoring the talent they already have,” said Rob Garcia, Vice President of Product at UpMo. “UpMo’s Talent Marketplace opens your eyes to the amazing talent right inside your company, allowing you to elevate current employees. By giving your employees an internal social career platform, you let them find and be found for internal opportunities—before external entities find them first. In this way, you keep your best employees in-house and engaged.”
