Field Test Example for Employers: MetroBuild’s Launch Partnership with Gobekli TalentPass
MetroBuild is a construction and infrastructure services company specializing in large-scale utility and engineering projects across North America. With a workforce of highly skilled laborers, engineers, and project managers, MetroBuild has always focused on maintaining rigorous standards for safety, skill, and project delivery. Recently, MetroBuild has decided to partner with Gobekli for an initial field test of TalentPass. This launch partnership allows employees to create skill and credential profiles to share directly with supervisors, enabling better skill tracking and internal growth potential. The field test’s goal is to explore how a centralized profile system can streamline talent visibility and help identify skill gaps for development.
Long-Term Vision
Beyond the TalentPass field test, MetroBuild is looking forward to sponsoring TalentSync testing, which will introduce advanced features like the Skills-Based Hiring Tool and a Central Talent Tree to visualize company-wide skills and training pathways. This future collaboration will set MetroBuild up as an industry leader in skill-based development, positioning them for long-term growth and employee satisfaction.
Setting Up TalentPass: Initial Profile Creation for Employees
MetroBuild employees, including field workers and office-based staff, begin by creating basic profiles in TalentPass. Using an easy interface, they log their skills, certifications, and recent projects. Supervisors can view these profiles to gain insight into each employee’s skills credentials, helping ensure that projects are staffed with the right expertise.
Sophie: “With TalentPass, you can show all your skills and certifications in one place. It’ll make it easy for us to track your expertise and match you to projects.”
Marco: “That’s great! I’ve got years of experience I can list here. It’ll help when I’m up for new roles.”
Short-Term Benefits: Visible Skill Tracking and Credential Sharing
Using TalentPass, employees can now present their skills and credentials directly to supervisors, which simplifies skill verification for client projects and internal development. This transparency allows MetroBuild to ensure they meet client requirements while building trust and improving internal accountability.
Amy: “Seeing everything listed out like this makes it so much easier to assign skilled workers to projects.”
Marco: “It’s a relief not having to dig up certificates every time!”
Long-Term Vision: Setting the Stage for TalentSync Sponsorship
By testing TalentPass, MetroBuild is preparing for the larger TalentSync rollout in the coming year. Sponsoring components like the Skills-Based Hiring Tool and the Central Talent Tree will position MetroBuild to support skill-based hiring across departments, promoting internal mobility and upskilling opportunities for all employees.
Jane: “If we can create a central skills tree, it’ll make it easier to promote from within and retain our skilled workers.”
Chris: “Agreed. TalentSync would also make hiring faster and more precise, helping us stay competitive.”
Future Vision with TalentSync: Building a Skills-Driven Company Culture
With the full TalentSync suite, MetroBuild could visualize workforce skills across departments, sponsor employee upskilling, and identify gaps that match future hiring needs. This skills-based approach will enhance employee satisfaction by creating clear, transparent pathways for career development.
Chris: “When employees see where they can grow, they’ll feel more invested in MetroBuild’s success.”
Jane: “Exactly. With TalentSync, we can plan for future skills while supporting everyone’s career goals.”
For MetroBuild, the initial field test with TalentPass is a first step in creating a talent-focused approach to workforce management. This launch partnership with Gobekli provides immediate benefits by simplifying credential sharing, improving supervisor visibility, and organizing employee skills. Looking ahead, MetroBuild’s plans to sponsor TalentSync will enhance their ability to visualize and develop skills across the workforce, empowering employees while driving operational efficiency. For companies aiming to future-proof their talent strategies, Gobekli’s solutions offer a structured and customizable path to lasting growth.
