Talent Management Industry: Are You Ready for your Transformation?

Talent Management industry has not been disrupted in decades.

As a professional and as an entrepreneur, I have always wondered why!

Why should the most crucial sector on this planet that brings into workforce professionals, engineers, salespersons, doctors, and so many other talented men and women, simply not want to change with times!

• Who wants to write long boring CVs and personal letters when the average time recruiters and HR managers spend on scanning them is less than 10 seconds before discarding most of them to oblivion? How can you avoid being pushed to that notorious trashcan?
• How could you tell your story to your potential employer in a way that makes you stand out from the crowd? Not just stand out, but also make a lasting impact that will open doors for you? Not just open doors for you, but also let them regard you as a person who matters and not a lifeless resource to be inducted into a workforce of lemmings.
• How could you get rid of that rubble of paper and have a hiring process that is paper-less and environment-friendly? How could we all collectively contribute to a greener planet through the way we get into or fluidly walk through the workforce.
• How could you bring in technology to a sector where the only technology change in decades has been digital-conversion of same old CVs and personal letters on job portals?

These were few thoughts that were with me, Ola Wassvik, Peter Thorin, Kristian Elmefall, Henric Westergren as we sat down to create the talent management and professional networking platform of the future: Pitchler.

Pitchler brings a fresh new perspective to job search, talent management, and professional networking domains.

A core functionality of the platform is video - as a job applicant you can send in your video pitch to potential employers, and, as an employer you can capture attention of today's tech-savvy generation with your video job posts. But, that is just the beginning!

There is much more to platform than just video technology: there are algorithms, analytics, and language processing. Yet, at the heart of Pitchler is the solution: it helps you pitch your story as a company and as an individual. And that's a first.

In a world where the biggest challenge is cutting through the ever-increasing clutter, Pitchler provides professionals and companies with the ability to tell their stories in a unique way and have the assurance of being heard, seen, and understood on the other end. In in doing all this, Pitchler dramatically cuts down the time it takes to the selection of the right candidate.

Pitchler is a startup based out of V?xj? and operating out of F?retagsfabriken. The company has already attracted initial investment for prototype development. The development is being done by Softhouse in partnership with Google.

The first generation platform is being launched in a few weeks and in the initial few months Pitchler is offering free signup for companies and job seekers for a limited period.

Change is never easy, but it's the only way forward.

So go ahead and signup at www.pitchler.com and join the talent revolution!
