SHL Accelerates High-Quality Tech Hiring Through A New Remote, AI-Driven Solution

Increase your tech candidate pool and reduce time to hire through the rigorous science of SHL combined with the AI of Aspiring Minds

MINNEAPOLIS, June 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — SHL, the market leader in talent innovation, today launched its Technology Hiring Solution to help customers automate and seamlessly scale the tech hiring process, all in a secure, remote environment that accounts for the current COVID-19 reality and beyond.

Attracting and hiring talent in the tech industry has never been more challenging. Traditional recruiting is not effective, as resumes and CVs alone are not a valid measure of skill and potential. Quality talent requires remote assessment, faster offers, and an engaging candidate experience.

In fact, today more than 90% of candidates for tech roles typically have multiple offers on the table. SHL’s new solution addresses this reality by cutting hiring time in half and increasing the candidate pool by 45% over traditional methods.

"Our Tech Hiring Solution offers the most valid and relevant assessment tools available to evaluate coding and technical skills, " said Jora Gill, SHL’s Chief Digital Officer. "We use artificial intelligence and data-driven insights to ensure you never miss out on the best tech talent, and your candidates enjoy an immersive and branded hiring experience."

SHL’s Tech Hiring Solution combines 40 years of assessment science with the innovative artificial intelligence of its recent acquisition, Aspiring Minds, to ensure the fastest and most efficient hiring for these highly sought-after roles.

The solution goes beyond what most coding simulations can produce, allowing employers to evaluate the candidate based on four rubric parameters – programming ability, programming practices, runtime complexity, and functional correctness. This provides visibility into the candidate’s skill level beyond the traditional pass-or-fail method.

"You may have a candidate who makes one keystroke error but is brilliant in every other way," said Himanshu Aggarwal, SHL Chief Growth Officer. "In a highly competitive market for technical skill, it is important to capture every eligible and gifted candidate there is — our solution makes that possible."

SHL exists to help you win. At a time of unprecedented change, we provide deep people insights to predict and drive performance.

Our world-class talent solutions empower leaders and their teams to make unbiased decisions throughout the employee journey.

TopDev launches AI/Computer Vision technology helping connect businesses with the unemployed due to COVID-19

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, May 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — When accessing https://covid.topdev.vn, companies will approach a list of candidates finding jobs associated with their CVs. And only with a few keystrokes of keywords or filters can output candidates’ results that match their requirements. As a result, candidates and companies can connect with each other securely.

COVID-19 is the main cause of mass layoffs owning to businesses’ downsizing, dissolution, and staff reduction. In the US, just 1 month after the outbreak, more than 400 startups have announced to let go of more than 50,000 jobs. This number is just a tip of the iceberg since it only counts tech startups in Silicon Valley (Source: https://layoffs.fyi).

In Vietnam, according to a recent survey by TopDev (https://topdev.vn/Eng_TopDevReportHR2020_Covid19.pdf), up to 34% of businesses are downsizing, costs- and staff-cutting to survive the risk of bankruptcy until the vaccine is invented. There is never been a better time need to have solutions helping the jobless with the most common one is to publicly list the employees who have lost their jobs so that other businesses can recruit. However, this leads to the disclosure of personal information like phone number or email address, and obviously, a bait for cybercriminals. Besides, insufficient information about education, skills, experience and others often shown in candidates CVs, also causes obstacles for businesses to choose the right one.

TopDev expects that this project will help 100,000 people find new jobs
TopDev expects that this project will help 100,000 people find new jobs

With a different approach, using AI to automatically hide the contact information in candidates’ CVs helps ensure personal information privacy while still maintaining the aesthetic features and other candidates’ distinctive details. Also, with an automated connection platform, businesses will be able to evaluate as well as find the right candidates. AI technology which scans and hides personal information in PDF files was developed by CEO Nguyen Huu Binh from a hobby project (project based on personal interest) that he has pursued for 3 years, and the outcome is the exact identification ability whether the CV was created from any tool or service. Mr. Binh said: "We have used the latest advances in recognition technology so this solution can function correctly with myriad CVs designs. Because it is extremely complicated to ensure the original design and to locate the information, using new technology helps them best express what they have while ensuring personal information security in the process of finding new jobs".

The solution was created with an aim of helping unemployed people find a new job as quickly as possible, while candidates are guaranteed with the standards of content, format, personal information security, opening a new era of finding jobs many times faster than before. Currently, this CV-publicized system is in its most advanced security conditions within the recruiting technology sector in Vietnam and the world. Additionally, employers from organizations/businesses also can benefit as well. When looking for candidates, they want a list arranged in a clear, logical order and easy-to-use format. From TopDev’s solution, it not only helps job seekers reach employers faster, but employers also have a new platform to easily search for professional and potential candidates.

However, this project is considered as a risky move. "Because this solution is completely free, there are potential risks affecting the company’s revenue, however, when facing the fact that 34% of enterprises are cutting costs, downsizing and laying off employees, also with the desire to support the society and the community, I received encouragement from the board of directors as well as from my subordinates to deploy this project devotedly", Mr. Nguyen Huu Binh said. Besides those worries, even during the peak of covid-19 outbreak this Vietnam-based IT recruiting startup TopDev still got a seven-digit deal investment from Korean recruiting company SaraminHR earlier this February.

Boilerplate:

TopDev is a recruitment network and ecosystem in Mobile & IT fields. It is top leading recruitment network in Mobile & IT fields, in Vietnam, offering Tech talent solution which meets potential needs. Its networks cover 95% of Tech communities in Vietnam and clients come from both Vietnam and South East Asia. The network TopDev is building consists of all activities and values that any tech manpower may need, work with and entertain with, including tech events, tech communities, tech sites, forums, etc. Based on this network, we reached 95% of the Tech communities in Vietnam.

Online CV creation solution from TopDev team in general and initiatives from Mr. Nguyen Huu Binh, CEO of TopDev and his colleagues in particular, all aim at providing unemployed candidates an opportunity to experience and create their own CV on a technology platform guaranteed with safety and authenticity. TopDev hopes the solution will create a powerful resonance, bringing the most practical value to users.

WorkJam Launches Next-Generation Health Check Analysis Tool, Advancing the Safety of Frontline Workforces

Industry-leading digital workplace platform introduces new tool to reduce the spread of COVID-19 among frontline employees and their customers

MONTREAL, May 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — WorkJam, the leading digital workplace solutions provider for organizations with frontline employees, today announced the release of its new, next-generation health check analysis tool, enabling employers to reduce the spread of COVID-19 among frontline employees and their customers while complying with local laws and regulations.


As businesses around the world prepare to reopen physical stores, the onus is on employers to ensure reboarded staff feel safe returning to their workplace. Adding another layer of complexity to the situation, companies must comply with local laws and regulations, which vary by country, state, and city. To create this safe and compliant work environment, employers must have the right technology and strategy in place to minimize the risk of exposure to frontline employees and customers.

With WorkJam’s health check analysis tool, employers prompt associates and leaders of frontline teams to complete a recurring mandatory health check survey on their mobile devices, which must be completed in order to clock in to a shift. The survey includes a variety of questions selected by the employer to ensure associates are healthy to work. The tool also triggers notifications and tasks to managers based on specific answers within a survey. Using this survey and scheduling data, businesses can minimize the spread of COVID-19 and alert staff who may have come into contact with an employee reporting symptoms — allowing them to be leaders in keeping their employees, clients, and shoppers safe.

"Now more than ever, frontline staff are looking to their employers for guidance and protection," says Paul Wyatt, Vice President of Product Management at WorkJam. "The employers that are able to provide a high level of leadership and assurance to their staff will come out of this crisis with healthy, engaged, and loyal employees. As an extension of WorkJam’s long-standing value of improving the livelihoods of frontline employees, we’re proud to support our customers with the technology needed to create safe work environments now and in the future."

WorkJam’s health check analysis tool allows for real-time documentation and validation attestation, further reducing legal liability for businesses navigating the challenges of reopening in the current climate. The tool can also be applied to cases outside of the current pandemic, verifying that every employee is alert and healthy to clock in to a shift.
