Talenya,  the world’s most advanced, AI-powered talent sourcing and diversity solution – released the findings from a groundbreaking study entitled Exploring The Pipeline Fallacy: Resume Skill Gaps Bury Underrepresented Minorities. Analyzing over 10 million candidate profiles, Talenya’s researchers found that minorities and females tend to share significantly less skills on their resumes when compared to their white and male counterparts. It is the first study of its kind to show that the so-called “diversity pipeline problem,” is a fallacy – in fact, there has never been a more talented, diverse population of recruitable talent across both race and gender. 

The problem is that tools and search processes recruiters are using are based on an antiquated technology (specifically, keyword or “Boolean” search) that is ill-equipped to find and surface these qualified, diverse candidates. To help fix this problem, Talenya is today launching its proprietary Diversity AI™ tool – built to empower recruiting teams to uncover and engage with significantly (2-3x) more qualified and diverse talent. Talenya levels the playing field for all talent regardless of race, gender, age, identity or disability – allowing them to be visible in the pipeline.

Sh1ft, Inc. (Shift One), today announced initial seed funding of $5.2 million, led by City Light Capital

Shift One was founded in 2019 by former Uber executives to address two fundamental challenges of the labor economy: the lack of a robust online marketplace for blue-collar jobs and a technology solution for companies looking to hire those workers. The company currently employs more than 25,000 workers and offers solutions in all 50 states and Latin America. 

Initially focusing on push-button solutions to quickly deploy entire teams of workers for last-mile logistics and delivery, e-commerce fulfillment and large-scale event management...Shift One provides a suite of productivity solutions — time, taxes, attendance, productivity and work-order management — so that companies can focus on their customers.

“The labor market today is broken. The working class is hard pressed to find their next steady job at a fair rate, and supply chains struggle to source the right workers to fulfill demand, especially in the last mile,” said Founder and CEO Jason Radisson. “Shift One is a new model that efficiently connects workers with rich employment opportunities, while providing companies with ready-to-work teams without the traditional overhead. Our cutting-edge approach is a competitive advantage for companies and furthers our long-term goal of becoming the largest ethical source of labor and employment in the world.”
