This Week in Rec Tech is Sponsored by Rejobify.com tilr ™, a Cincinnati, Ohio-headquartered and Toronto, Ontario-based corporation, proudly announces the launch of its new skill matching and skill mapping, patent-pending hiring platform.  tilr ™‘s machine learning algorithm is based on unique ‘skills-matching’ technology that utilizes weighted skills, relevant occupations and other job preferences tailored to serve both the public and private sectors, including part-time and full-time workers, with a web application (‘App’) readily available for companies and governments, and a mobile application for job-seekers. This new version of tilr ™, combined with years of inputs from past matches, enables the technology to learn intuitively in order to ensure the best possible job match.  Companies will be able to choose from a labor marketplace of readily available workers and identify where skills lie ‘in-house’, saving in both human resources time and costs, while eliminating bias in the onboarding process.  Jo

This Week in Rec Tech is Sponsored by Rejobify.com Gem, a software platform for modern recruiting, today announced it has raised a $37 million Series B investment led by Greylock with participation from existing investor Accel, to double down on product innovation. This brings the total capital raised by Gem to $48 million. Gem is also launching Diversity Analytics, a new feature aimed at helping companies build diverse teams by giving them unparalleled visibility into the hiring funnel.  Up to 80% of recruiting happens prior to a candidate applying for a role, meaning that recruiters and hiring managers are spending the majority of their time finding, nurturing and gaining the confidence of prospective candidates. Despite this effort, there’s been no way for teams to track and manage all their work before Gem’s all-in-one recruiting platform.  “With Gem, our customers can build relationships with talent, ultimately filling open roles faster. The strong word-of-mouth growth among recruiters helped contribut

This Week in Rec Tech is Sponsored by Rejobify.com Competitive Wedge, the video interviewing solution that helps recruiters make authentic connections with candidates, today announced details of its funding.

Wedge CEO, Matt Baxter, commented, “Wedge was designed with both the recruiter and candidate at the core. For recruiters, we streamline processes and reduce screening times. For candidates, they gai
