Recruitment platform TalentMarketplace uses machine learning to generate matches between candidates and employers, creating a curated talent pool of project professionals.
The pandemic fast-forwarded the digital transformation and remote work trend, increasing the demand for high-skilled tech talent. The result was an unprecedented shortage of talent.
With TalentMarketplace’s platform, companies could sidestep this issue with access to a pre-screened pool of candidates that matched their needs, and a direct form of contact - cutting hiring time by 8 weeks.
TalentMarketplace counted on Mind Meld PR to help promote their company to both potential employers and candidates. They needed the agency to present TalentMarketplace as a trustworthy and valuable source of workplace advice.
Tech PR Challenge
Even if the tech shortage was all over the news, most updates referred to traditional job-seeking methods that were slow and not always productive. The releases and pitches needed to highlight how innovative TalentMarketplace’s machine-learning software was, and how it could help companies and candidates in an effective and fast manner.
The Great Resignation and the Remote Work trend was booming too, with many wondering why and how long this would continue. Mind Meld PR’s campaign would need to showcase TalentMarketplace as a source of information for workforce trends and outlooks, based on their own experience, research and data.
Tech PR Solution
Mind Meld PR made use of the news swarm around the hiring struggles companies were facing. Using specific examples and data from TalentMarketplace, releases showcased the unique and innovative platform as a solution, targeting business, human resources and economic outlets.
As enquiries about remote working and the great resignation were high, the Mind Meld PR team was quick to establish TalentMarketplace as a reliable source of information by connecting the company with journalists and podcasts hosts and setting up interviews.
Beyond the product, Mind Meld PR also used TalentMarketplace’s relatable story to put the company in the spotlight, by setting up interviews with the founders to talk about their entrepreneurial journey.
