Yet, Individuals and businesses still rely on costly, unreliable and slow exchange of former employment, professional achievements and educational certifications data.

As a matter of fact, today’s labor market’s tech infrastructure has more in common with the outdated postal service than this generation’s digital world.

06

People see their career credentials as one of their most important assets. Yet, they do not own them. 73% of employees said they want to own their work-related records and take them as they move between jobs.
