Diverse talent clouds

 

2020

The Diverse Talent Cloud, powered by The Mom Project, will be the go-to source for highly-skilled, diverse talent for our Enterprise customers. Our goal is to permanently impact the employment landscape in favor of Moms, underrepresented minorities, and allies on a large scale. The Diverse Talent Cloud is built to enable rapid progress against under-representation in the workforce through the combination of an inclusive algorithm and a shared commitment with Enterprise partners. 

Our goal is to partner with companies who share in our mission to design the workplace of the future; one that is more accessible, equitable, and always keeps the Mom experience front and center. 

 
 
 

What are we solving?

For Talent

How might we elevate our top talent and provide them with high-quality jobs faster than on our current marketplace product?

For Employers

How might we give enterprise companies direct access to our diverse pool of top talent?

 

BUSINESS NEEDS

  • Permanently impact the employment landscape in favor of Moms, underrepresented minorities, and allies at a large scale. 

  • Partner with companies who share in our mission to design the workplace of the future; one that is more accessible, equitable, and always keeps the Mom experience front and center. 

  • Increase the amount of hires and speed up the hiring process by providing our enterprise partners with direct access to our top talent.

USER NEEDS

Top talents' needs

  • Greater flexibility in work arrangements

  • Higher frequency access to the types of jobs and fair pay they desire

  • A feeling of exclusivity in the roles they are being presented to

  • Personal, special experience that feels different than the marketplace product

  • Employer Trust & engagement - Employers and work that they can feel connected to

  • Work cultures that value them as Moms and Allies

Enterprise employers' needs

  • They want to foster greater innovation by increasing employee diversity and meeting DEI targets

  • A better way to attract & retain diverse talent. Traditional job postings don’t enable the level of curation that increasingly matters to employers because by nature, anyone can apply to a job.

  • Attract and retain highly skilled and engaged candidates quickly

  • Labor force flexibility - be able to quickly scale their workforce up and down as needed while minimizing talent acquisition costs (hire pre-vetted, curated talent for the necessary roles)

 

SOLUTION

 
 
 
 
 

EMPLOYER EXPERIENCE

IT includes 3 main user scenarios:

1. Cloud Listing - This is where users see what clouds already exist and can easily filter them to find the cloud they’re looking for. They also can enter the cloud creation flow from this page. 

2. Cloud Creation - This is where users set the parameters for a new cloud before running match. 

3. Reviewing Talent - Once a cloud has been created, users will be able to view the top talent within the cloud and find the perfect candidate.

 
 

Cloud listing page

The cloud listing page is a view of all of the existing clouds. The clouds are shown very high level with the name of the cloud, the number of members, and what company the cloud was created for. Users can pin a cloud, then filter to see only the clouds they pinned, clouds created for a company, or the generic stock clouds.

Users can also search the clouds, filter by company, and filter by superpower (The Mom Project’s coined term for job field.) 

Users would can either click to view an existing cloud or click to create a new cloud. 

 

Cloud Creation

Before we are able to run our match algorithm and create a cloud, users must designate the type of candidates they are looking for and set the parameters for the cloud. During cloud creation, talent managers can be as detailed or as generic as they want to be. They must name the cloud, identify it as a company cloud or stock cloud, and assign a superpower and the main job capabilities. They can also add additional skills, relevant job titles, years of experience, and industries, but it’s not required.

 

Reviewing Talent

After a cloud has finished matching the top talent and generated a list of cloud members, our talent managers will be able to click into the cloud and view the top talent. The cards will be sorted by most relevant at the top, and talent managers can use the filters on the side if they want to narrow down the list even further. 

The talent cards provide an overview of the cloud members so it is easy to quickly look through many members at a time. Talent managers are able to see a brief overview of the talent with their matching skills, experience, capabilities, and industries by clicking to expand the cards. If they want a more detailed view of the candidate, they can click through to their profile.

Talent managers also have the ability to star their favorite cloud members and quickly see if they’re available to work with the green circle next to their name.

 

OUTCOMES

The talent experience is set to launch in Q2 2021

Product Design is still finalizing the visual design, and the engineers are currently finishing up the work building out the talent onboarding experience.

The sales team is already selling it!

The sales team has already secured multiple deals with enterprise clients who are excited to have direct access to top diverse talent.
