Copenhagen, Denmark Jan 20, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - A golden chance for HR departments and job-seekers as Platypus launches a new add-on: Connect (Beta). Bringing an innovative approach to recruitment by helping companies to better attract, communicate, hire and retain candidates.
Platypus, an HR tech firm, is on a quest to foster a paradigm shift in the recruitment space. Providing organizations with the tools to identify their company culture and understand the values of their employees and candidates to create happier, stronger, and high-performing teams.
The recruitment market is dominated by HRIS, employee surveys, and similar technologies. Engagement and performance metrics have created a new category. Platypus defines cultural operations as a separate category. Culture is now critical, with 89% of new hires failing because of cultural and interpersonal factors and not skill. The Great Resignation is igniting people to change careers and find a revived sense of purpose in their work, so companies must learn what motivates their people to prevent attrition.
The goal is to be the main B2B2C provider of expert talent recommendations, based on authentic culture data. With the aim to create the biggest pool of live culture data internationally. Improving the matching process for organizations and individuals, driving more equal and honest interactions in the recruitment space.
Platypus is now launching an exciting add-on, Connect (Beta), that’s to be availed by two markets: HR and job-seekers. The smart, user-friendly matchmaking platform allows organizations and candidates to connect and align on shared values. Aiming to close the gap between job seekers and employers, by sparking and inspiring people to find the employment that is most ideal to their professional life. Meanwhile, presenting organizations with culturally compatible candidates.
HR departments have multiple benefits using the Connect (Beta) add-on. The platform will enable businesses to grow their culture, creating a diverse and inclusive workforce, whilst improving their candidate experience and reducing the risk of mis-hire. Hiring professionals can now discover candidates whose cultural priorities are matching with their teams, before reviewing individual job-seeker profiles. This will show them what the candidate will bring to the organization and what they need in return to be satisfied at work. Engaging with relevant candidates can be done in multiple ways, such as contacting them or moving them to an active job role.

Moving forward with the tool’s benefits for job-seekers are plenty. Finding new work opportunities requires the individuals to first understand and reflect on their professional values before matching with teams whose cultural priorities align with theirs. This enables better performance, work satisfaction, and increased commitment in a job where their goals and culture are synchronized. All a job-seeker has to do is to create a Platypus Print then explore the teams that match with their cultural priorities. If interested, they can swipe right to Connect. By doing so, their profile will appear on the Platypus recruitment platform giving them the opportunity to be considered for an existing or upcoming position.
