The resurgence of jobs has brought on a workforce crisis as companies struggle to fill roles. “Hiring experienced talent is the industrial sector’s most urgent priority amidst a tight labor market and a growing wave of retirements,” said CEO and Founder Kim Taylor. “We need to expand beyond the friction of resumes and job descriptions to a common language of skills.” Engineering talent is vetted to join the platform and employers pay on a subscription model to access mid-to-senior level talent looking for full-time jobs. Cluster only matches people to jobs for which they are qualified. https://recruitingheadlines.com/mark-cuban-invests-in-engineering-job-platform/ SAN FRANCISCO, March 12, 2019 — ZenSourcer, an all-in-one recruiting platform that provides a single source of truth for talent teams, today announces a $9M Series A funding round from Accel and the business’ rebrand to Gem.
