Q&A
Our company post jobs on our website. How is this different?
For a Job Future, think of posting a job on your website (what you do) after the Job Future matures. The Job Label also defines and quantifies skills in a uniform way.
300M Active Users Visit Indeed a month. Why are candidates going to use Job Futures?
Only 3 percent get a return, many are overwhelmed by sending hundreds of resumes.
Our proposal is to negotiate through a hiring process during the Job Future. We think should be less aggravating and more precise, allowing pivots - easier to do while you are learning not graduated.
How much does Job Futures cost?
At this stage, we offer Job Futures for free. However, at a later time, we plan to charge per Job Future or a subscription. This charge will include not only their creation, but also providing an interface to manage them through the duration of the Job Future
Standard Representation
Learning labels are a standard representation for learning on a granular level - task, experience, activity.
Course labels represent a collection of learning labels for higher order learning.
Job labels represent expectations and ROI for a typical job posting. The expectations include past knowledge and first year application of skills.
As labels, they are meant to be read and understood by everyone - learners, workers and practitioners - on all forms of media.
Manage and Track Skills
Based on skills, learning labels work laterally across subjects and disciplines and vertically across education, higher education, and career stages. This makes them an effective medium to track lifelong learning - both for job preparation and personal growth.
Learning pathways are built by combining the labels together, using dashboards a practitioner creates and pivots along pathways. Learning gains appear instantly.
Job labels are designed to setup a skill requirement, so there are multiple, more efficient learning pathways.
Skill Emblems
An innovative alternative to standard badges, Skill Emblems are responsive summaries of queued and completed for a given period of time on a skill by skill basis. This keeps them relevant and reduces clutter.
The Skill Emblems appear in the Profile and Teams apps as a way for team members to pool resources and signal skills.
