Burlingame, CA, November 17, 2004 - TheSkillsMatch.com,
offering an in-depth skills profiling system along with a
complete line of tools and services for the mid-career adult,
has been launched by Burlingame, CA based WorkForce OS. "We
began creating TheSkillsMatch.com over five years ago. At
the heart of the site is TheSkillsMatch™ tool, which
we developed based on the firm belief that for an over-40
worker, a resume alone no longer represents the true value
an individual brings to an organization," says Susan
Magrino, President of WorkForce OS. In the US, as well as
Canada, the UK, and other countries, critical skills are disappearing
as the Baby Boom generation begins to retire: in the US, this
trend is projected to lead to a serious shortage of skilled
workers by 2011. "TheSkillsMatch allows job seekers to
create a detailed, clearly formatted personal profile - with
resume attached - that can be emailed to employers or personal
networks," says Magrino.
TheSkillsMatch.com is truly a Career Store for the over-40
worker. Products and services are centered on helping the
job seeker make a successful career move. The site offers
job search and online application, skills testing, personality
assessments, a salary analyst, and a background checker. "TheSkillsMatch.com
has assembled partners that provide maximum value to their
target audience - our skills tests allow job seekers to check
their own abilities in different areas and to provide that
information to potential employers if they choose to,"
say Peter Brown, President of Presenting Solutions, Inc.,
TheSkillsMatch skills testing partner.
Employers have many choices at TheSkillsMatch.com as well:
they can post jobs, distribute job postings to a broad network
of job boards, search the database of profiled job seekers,
test applicant skills, find out what positions are worth,
acquire payroll solutions, and perform background checks.
"The mid-career worker is key to businesses remaining
stable through the upcoming shortage of skilled labor,"
states Ms. Magrino. "We've got the talent we need right
here, right now. Through TheSkillsMatch.com, WorkForce OS
is creating America's Talent Pool™: now the over-40 job
seeker has a place to go and tools to represent the depth
and breadth of their skills." Magrino continues, "In
turn, employers can reach a rich, largely untapped, source
of talent that can be searched to find exactly the right skills
to fit their requirements."
