Clearer Signals: Building an Employer-Led Job Registry for Talent Pipeline Management

Abstract

Employers today are struggling to fill open positions because of a growing skills gap. Many have argued that the skills gap is caused by an inability of employers to signal their hiring requirements consistently and at scale in a rapidly changing talent marketplace. Prior attempts to improve employer signaling have been met with limited success. Employer signaling will remain elusive and the skills gap will continue to grow unless employers have the tools needed to provide clearer signals in talent markets especially to their education, training, and credentialing partners.
