Andela Launches Andela Talent Cloud to Bolster Global Remote Tech Hiring
Andela, the largest private marketplace for technical talent in the world, today unveiled the Andela Talent Cloud, an integrated, end-to-end platform for connecting enterprises looking to expand their capabilities and skill sets with global engineers. The Andela platform is a comprehensive, AI-driven solution that offers IT leaders complete transparency of talent profiles and outcomes of skills assessments, allowing them to make secure and well-informed hiring decisions.
According to Jeremy Johnson, CEO and Co-Founder of Andela, “market-leading organizations understand that rewriting their workforce strategies to include global, remote tech talent offers a distinct competitive advantage.” “Andela provides a flawless method. Andela enables businesses to extend their teams and complete projects more quickly by fusing the world’s leading private talent marketplace with an AI-driven platform.
Unlike conventional hiring strategies including internal recruiting, consulting firms, and outsourcing, the Andela Talent Cloud offers clients better speed, flexibility, performance, and trust. With a highly elastic resource pool and flexible hiring choices, the solution enables IT firms to scale swiftly, finding the right people for the right role at the appropriate pace and cost. The platform streamlines the entire hiring process, assisting businesses in finding, selecting, employing, managing, and paying international technologists through a single, integrated platform. The full employment process can be completed in as little as 48 hours and cost between 30% and 50% less.
“We must deliver anything from anywhere due to our extensive client base worldwide. We need a well-rounded global personnel strategy to achieve this, according to Ikechi Okoronkwo, Global Executive Director, Advanced Analytics at Mindshare. “With Andela, we can simply scale up or down based on changing company demands. They assist us in finding people that is highly skilled, highly motivated, and exemplifies an excellence and delivery culture swiftly. The talent gets right to work, which maximizes value for our clients. Andela reduces employment risks internationally so that companies may expand and compete.
“It is no surprise that the rate of hiring borderless technology staff doubled in the last three years,” said Gabriela Vogel, Senior Director Analyst at Gartner, “as increasing retention and hiring has risen to the No. 3 priority for CEOs this year and 2023.” Borderless hiring was also pushed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and what was once an exception is now the norm. “Borderless workforce,” according to Gartner, is talent that works remotely from several nations in accordance with an employment contract formed across international boundaries.
Features of Andela Talent Cloud include:
Better AI capabilities
The Talent Decision EngineTM (TDE), which is at the heart of the Andela Talent Cloud, uses AI and data-driven matching algorithms to match the appropriate talent with client-specific jobs and skill needs. The TDETM analyzes a large data set, including both hard and soft skills, experience, title, region, work preferences, language competence, candidate interactions, and client feedback for each and every job post. It learns from thousands of data points throughout the hiring lifecycle.
The TDETM ensures a more equitable and precise match to the job criteria by removing prejudice and subjectivity from the recommendation and matching process for each candidate presented for evaluation and acceptance. To make the platform smarter over time and enhance its capacity to match the correct talent for upcoming project work, the TDETM continuously evolves for each client by evaluating their interactions across the marketplace as well as talent success.
With a success rate for talent matches of 96% and a speed to hire that is up to 70% faster than traditional recruiting, Andela is predicted to continue to grow as a result of more interactions and placements.
Performance prediction:
With the purchase of Qualified in March 2023, Andela has added patented developer assessment tools to the Talent Decision EngineTM that help better assess the recommended talent’s on-the-job performance before selection. Over 500 predefined and fully customizable code challenges are offered by Qualified, the top customer-rated assessment platform on G2, to objectively assess technical skills at scale.
In order to indicate skills-based proof that the engineering applicant can solve problems, make technically sound judgments, and has the necessary hard and soft skills to match the role and corporate culture, Qualified adopts an evidence-based evaluation procedure.
76% of HR leaders who responded to Gartner’s 2022 HR Budget and Staffing Benchmarking Survey expect headcount to rise well into 2022, with turnover continuing high, according to a Gartner report. Andela will keep providing Andela Qualify as a stand-alone developer evaluation solution in light of the widespread need for reskilling and upskilling.
Global Payout Capability that is Seamless
To guarantee that technologists receive money quickly and affordably, Andela Pay administers all facets of international payouts, currency exchange, and compliance in more than 100 nations. Technology experts are paid directly in USD into the partner wallet of their choice, shielding clients from the risk of currency exchange. To assure compliance by all remote workers, the Andela Pay partner ecosystem additionally performs Know-Your-Customer evaluations and OFAC checks on contractual technicians in accordance with the relevant legislation.
Integrations for Enterprise HRM
Popular Application Tracking (ATS) and Vendor Management Systems (VMS) can be integrated with Andela Connect. Integrations for Greenhouse, Beeline, and Fieldglass are now available for the Andela Talent Cloud. With the help of these interfaces, clients can link job ads on their websites or on LinkedIn to the Andela Talent Cloud, which will then immediately start the process of matching those postings against the Andela Talent Marketplace. Clients can speed up hiring by streamlining their recruitment process to find talent suggestions.
