Methodology
TalentCACHE® Provides an online platform that links academia to industry.
TalentCache is a software application and methodology that automates job candidate selection process by utilizing computer-based, educational experiences. TalentCache distributes the education and orientation material in an eLearning format prior to, as a prerequisite, candidate interviews. It electronically manages a candidate’s progress through the curricula and ranks the candidates according to their assessments results. In short, TalentCache simplifies the hiring process.
The Process
Candidate selection based on competency.
TalentCACHE is an optional component of the SkillGRID platform and facilitates the candidate selection process by using eLearning to prequalify applicants before they are interviewed, pre-payroll. Using SkillGRID®, hiring managers reach out to candidates with eLearning modules selected from PetroEd’s eLearning library or their own 3rd party training material. Their progress is monitored and tracked in SkillGRID, and once they are finished the results can be tabulated, ranked and analyzed according to scores and other criteria. This simple process benefits a hiring manager greatly – now they know which candidates are motivated, can work diligently, and are committed to excellence. Ones that don’t follow the process can be passed over.
Competency-based Education
Using competency as the basis of the employment engagement is a key differentiator: It is a more precise way to hire. In addition, candidates can improve their competency ‘conformance’ by accessing educational resources suggested by TalentCACHE to remedy any deficiencies.
While competency-based education and assurance models have been around for many years, the wide adoption of this approach has been slow in developing.
We believe that TalentCACHE provides an engaging ‘cloud-based’ solution that may be useful to employers in applying a competency-based approach for quickly assessing the ‘hireablilty’ of students and individuals for job positions within their organizations.
