Shared workspace for employer groups
A shared workspace for groups of employers working on one problem: joint training programs, shared recruiting analysis and a log of the decisions the group makes.
Built from A shared workspace with joint pipelines, shared feeder analytics and a coalition decision log
The decision log is the part that matters. Multi-employer efforts fail on forgotten agreements more than on analysis.
