The talent shortage continues in 2023 despite a more stable labor market. While employers may no longer be dealing with issues like “The Great Resignation” or “Quiet Quitting,” turnover rates are high. This means that a large percentage of employees are not fully engaged or satisfied, leaving millions of job openings unfilled and productivity at below-pandemic levels.

As a new solution within YouScience Brightpath, the comprehensive education-to-career platform that utilizes advanced AI to help students discover, prove, and pursue their passion, Employer Spotlight connects businesses with students who have proven aptitudes to be successful in high-demand occupations at their organization. By forging this strategic partnership, both students and employers can feel more empowered. It also enables employers to:

• Find hard-to-reach candidates and get in front of a diverse pool of talent with the right skills to succeed in their specific industry.
• Increase mindshare with talent who have the aptitude to be successful in careers.
• Connect with students through work-based learning activities like internships and apprenticeships.
• Foster relationships with teachers and counselors to effectively grow your talent pool and recruiting ecosystem.

“This new solution addresses the long-standing problem of finding the best fit talent for  jobs. It breaks down barriers for both employers and students alike, allowing them to connect in a meaningful way and make informed decisions,” said Edson Barton, Founder and CEO, YouScience. “For employers, this means fewer resources spent on sifting through endless resumes or recruiting agencies. For students, it’s a chance to forge strong connections with potential employers, thus increasing their chances of getting a job that suits them. With Employer Spotlight, we are ushering in a new era of recruitment where everyone wins. Everyone has the opportunity to get the job they want, and employers can more easily find candidates that best suit their needs.”

Nationwide, YouScience has nearly 5,000 organizations who leverage Employer Spotlight to find emerging local talent. YouScience’s aptitude-based methods are transforming the way students discover their academic or career pathways, helping them break down barriers that have long placed biases on them.

“We love this tool in Ohio because it benefits the entire workforce ecosystem: employers, job coaches, and job seekers,” said Amy Dutton, Sr. Talent Strategy Manager, JobsOhio. “Employers are matched with potential applicants who have the aptitude, interest, and desire to become future employees. Job seekers can learn about authentic traits and skills they possess, but might never have thought about, guiding them to a fulfilling career path. We cannot say enough positive things about YouScience.”
