Welcome to Talent Match Insights

We're excited to launch this space where we'll share our perspectives on transforming how frontline workers and employers connect.

What We'll Cover

This blog will explore skills-based hiring, workforce readiness, and the future of frontline talent. We believe potential exists everywhere—not just where opportunity does—and we're building tools to prove it.

Topics we'll dive into:

  • Economic trends impacting job growth and mobility
  • Research on frontline workforce trends
  • The psychology of job readiness
  • Building stronger first 90 days
  • Practical tools for employers and job seekers

Why This Matters

Traditional hiring is broken for frontline roles. Resumes don't predict success. Interviews reward polish over substance. And too many great workers never get the chance to show what they can do.

We're here to change that.

"We believe potential exists everywhere—not just where opportunity does."

When we rely on resumes and gut feelings, we miss the signals that actually predict success. We overlook candidates who could thrive. And we set up new hires to fail before they've had a fair shot.

The Cost of Getting It Wrong

Every failed hire costs more than money. It costs:

  • Time spent recruiting, onboarding, and training
  • Team morale when turnover is constant
  • Opportunity for workers who deserved a better chance

The first 30-90 days decide everything—for performance, confidence, and retention. That's where we focus.

Join the Conversation

Follow along as we share research, stories from the field, and practical insights for employers and job seekers alike.

Better hiring starts with better signals.
