Our take
Applicant Tracking Systems are frequently used by companies to filter out resumes that do not include essential skills. However, University degrees often focus on generalized skill sets as opposed to career-critical skills, resulting in many strong candidates slipping through the cracks.
Pathstream builds optimized digital skill programs for job seekers by partnering with companies and educational institutions, with programs designed in collaboration with companies including Salesforce, Facebook and Tableau. The startup's aim is to deliver courses in career-critical skill sets to ensure applicants have all the necessary skills relevant to their career path.
Pathstream believes that degrees in the US still focus too much on qualifications in antiquated skill sets. It does not want to replace educational institutes, but partner with them to teach platform-centric and industry-critical skill sets. Strong funding and a good initial reach will support this aim moving forward.
