SZW ROVK SiR S&I Start-Up in Residence Challenge Tools to recruit skills-based personnel
The Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment (SZW) is launching a Start-Up in Residence Challenge to develop innovative tools for skills-based recruitment. The assignment focuses on creating a platform or algorithm that matches candidates with vacancies based on a broad set of skills – soft skills, hard skills, and knowledge – instead of merely diplomas. Start-ups must deliver a prototype or proof-of-concept that unlocks the potential of skills for small employers, accelerates selection and recruitment processes, and promotes diversity and inclusion. The procedure is a negotiated procedure without prior publication, aimed at a rapid, flexible collaboration with an innovative partner. The challenge requires expertise in data analytics, AI-driven matching, UX design, and knowledge of the labor market.
