PathBoost|Hire is an online pre-hire screening and skill
development platform that enhances employer recruitment strategies
and prepares jobseekers for specific job openings. The mobile
responsive tool is intended for use by companies with a high volume
of frontline openings such as retail, tourism, hospitality,
financial services, automotive and other top industries.
“According to a recent Harris Interactive/Glassdoor survey,
sixty seven percent of employers believe that retention rates would
increase if employees had a crystal clear picture of the role they
are applying for and what is expected of them during the interview
and on-boarding process,” said Karl McDonnell, CEO of Strayer
Education, Inc. “Additionally, culture and fit are increasingly
important to new employees. PathBoost|Hire provides a deeper-level
of understanding of not only the hard and soft skills needed for
success, but also of the company’s identity and how it connects to
the industry at large.”
PathBoost|Hire provides interactive, custom content in five key
areas: industry knowledge, brand overview, core job skills,
mindsets and behaviors, and interview preparation. Content areas
are brought to life in a 360-degree job immersion experience that
includes real-life on-the-job scenarios, thought-provoking
questions, aptitude assessment and documentary style
mini-films.
“Imagine that the job application and interviewing process are
completely transformed,” said Sarah Puil, senior vice president of
product development. “Rather than the sterile act of submitting
your resume online and waiting for a call, job seekers are provided
with a realistic job preview so they can learn more about the
industry, company and role at measured intervals to best gauge
their fit for the position early and prepare them throughout the
interview and, ultimately, onboarding processes. Equally, hiring
managers using PathBoost will be able to optimize their time spent
on seeking and screening suitable candidates and realize their
business results sooner by creating job-ready employees
pre-hire.”
