Sales Specialist

Well, the reality is that the workforce today is not skilled to adapt to rapidly transforming workplaces, dynamic jobs, and digital transformation: a challenge accelerated by COVID-19. This failure to adapt has far-reaching and potentially catastrophic effects on organisations.

In the aftermath of COVID-19, the need for high-performance customer-facing teams has expanded dramatically. Skillr's Talent Intelligence Platform has been purpose-built for customer-facing teams and helps organisations discover and develop talent who have the critical behavioural skills required to succeed in these roles. We did this by working closely with renowned academics at Stanford and The University of Pennsylvania to develop frameworks that can objectively quantify critical skills.

The Result?

Skillr today objectively helps organisations measure how external talent and internal customer-facing teams are performing, how they compare with other organisations, and how to help their teams succeed. This is without a doubt, the world’s most advanced way to build customer-facing teams that are ready to battle the future.
