SkilledUp Life bridging the talent gap

To conceive and readily opt to go on a journey of building a tech startup is no small decision. You should be prepared  – resources, talents, grit and all. Without any of these, you are on for a long walk to failure. But what if you had a lifeline on the talent side? I’d say you’ve got a significant chunk of your problems solved already.

On the flip side, recruiters are sending job vacancies globally offering remote positions and job seekers are also embracing remote work, sending applications to their dream companies internationally and globally. But only a few of those seeking out jobs are being offered. The reason in most cases is not that those not offered do not have the required qualifications, but rather due to a lack of experience or the required skills.

Given the situation related to the above; SkilledUp Life, a brainchild of necessity was created to bridge the global talent and skills gap. SkilledUp Life builds diverse and distributed teams with a truly global perspective – to help with an idea, product or market validation for early-stage technology startups, while providing the talents with the opportunity to prove themselves hands-on.
