Company Summary

We save major employers $100,000’s by reducing re-hiring costs. Studies show 35% of new executive hires last <18 months, and 50% of all new hires regret accepting their jobs within a year. A common saying is “People are hired for their skills, and fired for their fit.” With SkillsMatching.com, people are hired for their skills and for their fit – and employers avoid re-hiring costs that, for one new hire, can range from 80-200% of annual salary!
