Here's the press release, with pointless adjectives and grandiose claimes edited out by me: "SkyHive appl(ies) a skills-based, as opposed to job-based, match of work opportunities.(It uses) machine learning to extrapolate the technical and soft skills possessed by job seekers, as well as the hiring needs of employers." This is something I've been talking about for some time. If you're matched directly from competencies to jobs, why would you need badges or credentials? That said, a colleague reports that there's a lot of time-consuming profile-filling that leads only to bad results. So, maybe, not quite ready.
