CORK’S GOT TALENT - NEW MAP
ESTABLISHING WHICH AREA HAS THE MOST!
Cork County Council building
a “Talent Heatmap” to help future growth
Cork County Council has partnered with Irish company Abodoo to
collate anonymised data on the types of skills that are available for potential
employers and investors to use. The details inputted by users will not be
shared with any third party, but will be used to produce a “Talent Heatmap”
which will indicate areas where companies can recruit qualified candidates.
Cork already has a strong reputation in a number of sectors,
however this Talent Heatmap will help to identify other potential opportunities
for employment. This information has an added value given that many people
living in Cork have been enjoying the benefits of remote-working for the first time
as a result of the recent emergency.
Members of the public are being asked to assist in the creation of
the talent and remote working map by registering their skills set at www.abodoo.com/corkcounty. The service is free
and information provided in the project will not include any personally
identifiable material.
Amongst the type of skills
already added to the Talent Heatmap for County Cork are;
- Software
Development
- Autocad
- Pharma
- Customer
Service/Support
- Legal
One of the first to support
the Talent Heatmap was artist Will Sliney, who is based in Ballycotton but
whose work has featured globally through Marvel Comics.
Abodoo captures over 50,000
skills and helps organisations identify their current and future talent,
helping them better identify the talent they wish to attract and to be more
informed about where they can start hiring more people if they wish to do so.
The initial stages of the project will include an education and awareness
campaign in digital and social media. The project has now been launched and
Cork County residents are invited to register their skills at www.abodoo.com/corkcounty and follow the
campaign on Social Media using the hashtag #corkproud.
