TradeTalent, an innovative recruitment platform harnessing the power of AI and Web3 technology, has successfully secured $8 million in a recent funding round. This investment, co-led by Nasdaq-listed Allied Gaming & Entertainment and technology firm Hicop Engineering, marks a significant milestone for the company as it aims to revolutionize the recruitment landscape. According to analysts cited in the report, the outlook is promising.
Funding Allocation for AI-Driven Technology
The newly acquired funds will be directed towards enhancing TradeTalent's AI-driven skill verification technology, which is crucial for ensuring the authenticity of candidates' qualifications. Additionally, the platform plans to expand its global network, connecting enterprises with talent across various industries, while also refining its trustless infrastructure to ensure secure and transparent transactions.
Vision for a Reliable Talent Network
TradeTalent's vision is to create a reliable talent network that seamlessly integrates the Web2 and Web3 environments. By utilizing a proprietary AI recruitment protocol and smart contracts, the platform offers on-chain AI interviews and skill certification services. This approach not only streamlines the hiring process but also generates immutable, on-chain skill assessment NFTs for job seekers, effectively tackling persistent issues in traditional recruitment, such as resume fraud and the high costs associated with background checks.
