Andela, the world’s largest private marketplace for technical talent, has launched the Andela Talent Cloud, an integrated, end-to-end platform designed to connect global technologists with companies in need of enhancing their capacity and skill sets.
With an emphasis on transparency, efficiency, and informed decision-making, Andela’s AI-driven solution, the Andela Talent Cloud, provides IT executives with comprehensive insights into talent profiles and skills assessment results.
Andela CEO and Co-Founder, Jeremy Johnson, highlighted the strategic importance of global, remote tech talent, stating, “Leading organizations recognize the competitive edge offered by integrating global tech talent into their workforce strategies. Andela’s approach is seamless, combining the premier private talent marketplace with AI-driven capabilities to help companies scale their teams and accelerate project deliveries.”
The Andela Talent Cloud offers unparalleled benefits such as speed, flexibility, performance, and trust, distinguishing it from traditional hiring methods like in-house recruiting and outsourcing. By leveraging a highly elastic resource pool and flexible hiring options, IT organizations can swiftly find the ideal talent for specific roles, ensuring a perfect match in terms of skills, speed, and cost.
The platform simplifies the entire hiring lifecycle, enabling companies to source, qualify, hire, manage, and pay global technologists seamlessly. Remarkably, this process can be completed in as little as 48 hours, making it 30% to 50% more cost-efficient.
Ikechi Okoronkwo, Global Executive Director, Advanced Analytics at Mindshare, emphasized the importance of Andela in their global talent strategy. “Andela allows us to scale our workforce based on our business needs. They provide us with highly motivated and skilled talent, ensuring maximum value for our clients. Andela de-risks global hiring, empowering businesses to grow and stay competitive.”
At the heart of the Andela Talent Cloud lies the Talent Decision Engine™ (TDE), powered by AI and data-driven matching algorithms. This engine assesses thousands of data points, including hard and soft skills, experience, geography, language proficiency, and client feedback, to ensure accurate talent-to-job matching. Reducing bias and subjectivity, the TDE creates fairer and more precise matches, enhancing the success rate of talent placements.
Andela’s acquisition of Qualified in March 2023 has enabled the integration of developer assessment capabilities into the Talent Decision Engine™. This addition ensures a thorough evaluation of the recommended talent’s on-the-job performance. The platform offers over 500 predefined coding challenges, providing objective assessments of technical skills at scale.
To facilitate seamless payments, Andela Pay manages global payouts, currency exchange, and compliance in over 100 countries. Technologists are paid directly in USD into their preferred wallets, minimizing foreign exchange risks for clients. The platform also conducts necessary compliance checks, ensuring all remote workers adhere to applicable regulations.
Additionally, Andela Connect offers integrations with popular Application Tracking Systems (ATS) and Vendor Management Systems (VMS) like Greenhouse, Beeline, and Fieldglass. These integrations streamline the recruitment process, allowing clients to quickly source talent recommendations from the Andela Talent Marketplace.
With the launch of the Andela Talent Cloud, Andela is focused on reshaping the ecosystem of global tech hiring, providing businesses with a reliable, efficient, and forward-looking solution to meet their talent needs.
