UnifyWork’s patented skills-based matching technology analyzes job seeker skills, interests, and work styles, mapping them to nearly 1,000 occupations that the Bureau of Labor Statistics has documented across the United States through ONet. And as of today and going forward, UnifyWork only allows individual livable wage or higher wage jobs on the network to advance its efforts of powering inclusive prosperity.

KEY QUOTES:

“We are inspired by the confidence investors are exhibiting in this challenging funding environment. This capital will help our team achieve our mission of informing, empowering and fully engaging our workforce so individuals, businesses and communities can thrive. Quite simply, we’re making talent shortages a thing of the past. Our skills-based matching technology enables employers to hire individuals who can’t be found through job boards or staffing agencies. At the same time, it helps job seekers identify work they love that embraces their unique skills and interests, while illuminating career development pathways throughout their lives.”

“The amount of interest and growth we’ve seen in the talent network in such a short time is truly astounding. We’re now beginning to work more closely with community colleges and K-12 schools to support their strategic initiatives in student career development. The opportunities are virtually endless.”

— UnifyWork Founder and CEO Stephen McHale

“I would like to thank the people who created this concept. There’s been instances where myself and others I know gave up looking for a job because it’s too complicated. You really simplified the process.”
