We use technology every day. From our shopping to our social lives, it鈥檚 embedded in our lifestyles. But it hasn鈥檛 quite stepped up to the mark when it comes to hunting for a job.
Job boards are a minefield to filter through. Recruitment agencies are focused on time and money rather than getting candidates the right contract. It鈥檚 difficult to cut through to the hiring manager. And applicants enter a field sometimes of thousands, all hustling for the next job.
What if there was another way?
The founders of OnSkil, an AI platform with a people first focus were inspired by the matching process on dating apps such as Tinder, and thought they could do the same when it comes to helping IT contractors get the right role for them.
The platform matches candidates based on skills and experience, ensuring a good fit from the get go. By removing demographic details and creating anonymous CVs it ensures that there is no unconscious bias feeding into the process, creating a level playing field. And like Tinder, contact details are only shared once both candidate and company have expressed an interest, so you know you鈥檙e both ready to have a conversation.

They are revolutionising the IT contract market, helping candidates and clients find their perfect job match, remove hiring bias for good. By anonymising CVs and matching only on skills, bias is diminished making for a fairer landscape.

It鈥檚 efficient and finds the right person for the right job fast 鈥� in fact OnSkil鈥檚 Virtual Internal Consultant (VIC) never sleeps, using semantic searches and cutting edge document fingerprinting to find the best candidates.
Nick Brand of OnSkil says 鈥淲e鈥檝e worked in recruitment for twenty years and have seen both sides of the table. We know what works for candidates and for clients, and developed OnSkil鈥檚 technology to streamline the process so that candidates get the job that鈥檚 right for them, and clients recruit the best talent for the role. AI alone is not enough, that is why OnSkil has harnessed HI (Human Interaction) into our process 鈥� a factor that can鈥� t be ignored when dealing with people. It鈥檚 about blending tech with the personal touch.鈥�
Jane Brand says 鈥淔inding a contract or freelance role can be challenging, and with so many IT contractors out there seeking jobs in top companies, it鈥檚 not always easy to find the right job. But AI and technology can help. We use it in every part of our lives, from shopping to travel.聽 In fact, we were inspired by the matching processes used by dating platforms and apps, and knew it could work well for IT recruitment.聽鈥�
