We are keen for employers to test our new employment platform so that we can deliver a product that works for you. Our platform will contain the profiles of experienced professionals 45+ who come from a wide range of backgrounds. You will be able to search and connect with them via the platform and employ them if you think they are a good fit for an opportunity you have. The advantage of this is that you don’t have to worry about writing and posting detailed advertisements or trawling through many applications to find the right talent. As a result of your involvement, we will give you free access to search, connect and employ for three months following our launch.Â
All we ask is that you give us your honest feedback about the ease of using the platform and the value of it to your organisation.
Please register your interest here and we will follow up with you very soon.

The number of jobs in soft-skill intensive occupations is expected to grow at 2.5 times the rate of jobs in other occupations. That’s why we’re educating our members about their transferable skills and how to highlight them.
