A Smarter Way to Hire
We don't compete for the same talent pool. We create new pipelines.
Educate
We expand your reach by introducing candidates to careers in your industry — many of whom would never have applied through traditional channels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about transforming your hiring process
How does Upskill find and attract candidates?
We reach candidates where traditional recruiting can't — through schools, community organizations, veteran programs, and online outreach. Many of these candidates would never have applied through a job board, but with Upskill they're introduced to your industry and motivated to complete training before applying.
What industries and roles can I hire for?
Upskill specializes in technical fields with large skills gaps: semiconductors, advanced manufacturing, broadband, green energy, aerospace, data centers, and industrial trades. We focus on entry-level and mid-skill roles where training leads directly to job readiness.
How long does it take to see my first candidates?
Most employers see trained applicants in as little as 1–2 weeks. With our Pipeline Builder tool, you can even post roles in advance so candidates are already trained and ready before your hiring cycle begins.
What does 'pre-trained' mean — how job-ready are candidates when I meet them?
Before you interview, candidates complete employer-selected courses and assessments mapped directly to your job requirements. That means you only meet applicants who've already demonstrated interest, effort, and baseline skills for your role.
Do I have to provide my own training content, or can I use your courses?
You can do both. Most employers start with Upskill's industry-aligned training library and then layer in company-specific modules if needed. This ensures candidates are trained in both foundational skills and your unique role requirements.
How does the per-hire fee work?
You only pay a success fee when you make a hire. There are no upfront recruiting costs or wasted spend on unqualified applicants — you meet pre-trained candidates and pay only if you hire them.
What happens if a candidate doesn't work out?
Our replacement guarantee ensures you're protected. If a new hire leaves or doesn't meet expectations within the guarantee window, you'll receive a replacement candidate at no additional cost — so you can hire with confidence.
How do you measure and verify candidate quality?
Every candidate completes assessments that measure aptitude, attitude, and applied skills. You receive reports showing completion rates, quiz performance, and hands-on project results — giving you insight into both technical ability and work ethic.
Do I need to sign a long-term contract, or can I start with a pilot?
No long-term commitment is required to start. Many employers begin with a 90-day pilot program to test the platform with a few roles. From there, you can expand into Starter, Growth, or Enterprise plans depending on your hiring needs.
