ZipRecruiter and the online skills development tool Worthi by Citi agreed to an integration that will provide job seekers with the resources they need to secure their next opportunity.
Through Worthi’s website, job seekers will be able to understand and acquire the skills they need to transition into a new industry. The tool, which is free, provides insight into in-demand skills based on users’ locations. It then connects seekers with online learning opportunities to enhance their existing skills and help them develop new ones. Through the integration with ZipRecruiter, Worthi users can also see open roles that match their newly attained skills, including details such as job responsibilities and salaries.
