Company mission
Empower people to grow their careers, on their own terms.
Our take
‘The Great Resignation’ where companies have competed more intensely than ever before for talent has ushered in a new generation of recruitment tools for hiring managers. However few attempts have been made to cater for a new, more empowered job-seeker. Teal are doing just that, and believe their career journey services will help beleaguered candidates regardless of the economic climate.
Teal upgrades job-seekers rudimentary spreadsheets with a variety of services including a Job Tracker, a Contacts Tracker, a Work History app, a Resume Builder, accessible salary data, and a Chrome Extension for job recommendations.
The latest funding willpower the next phase of Teal’s business model, including building a recommendations engine that pairs people with the right ROI-oriented skills-based online courses aligned to their career goals, with affiliate partnerships currently in place with platforms like Coursera, General Assembly, Udemy, and LinkedIn Learning.
The biggest challenge for the app could be continuing to grow while its customers churn. In most businesses, customers that love a service will stay with you, while Teal’s happiest customers will by definition no longer need their service. The startup will hope that organic growth through word-of-mouth recommendations will mitigate this risk.
