Field Test Example for Employers: Shoreline Bites’ TalentPass Launch Partnership with Gobekli
Shoreline Bites is a well-established seafood restaurant chain known for its quality service and fresh offerings. With locations in major cities along the East Coast, Shoreline Bites prides itself on delivering exceptional customer service and culinary expertise. To improve team coordination and support employee growth, Shoreline Bites has joined Gobekli’s TalentPass field test. This partnership allows employees to build profiles that showcase their skills and credentials, enhancing communication with supervisors and enabling better assignment of specialized roles.
Long-Term Vision
Beyond this initial TalentPass field test, Shoreline Bites envisions expanding with Gobekli’s TalentSync features. In the future, TalentSync could support the company’s goals for Skills-Based Hiring and a Central Talent Tree, creating structured development paths for staff and ensuring the right skills align with the restaurant’s service standards.
Getting Started with TalentPass: Profile Setup for Front- and Back-of-House Staff
Shoreline Bites employees, from kitchen staff to servers and shift supervisors, start by setting up profiles in TalentPass. This allows them to log relevant skills, certifications (like food safety), and experience levels. Managers gain visibility into each employee’s strengths and certifications, simplifying role assignments and training needs.
Emma: “I didn’t realize how much experience I could actually add to my profile!”
Leo: “Same here. It’s great to get recognized for all the years we’ve put into this.”
Short-Term Benefits: Skill Visibility and Assignment Efficiency
With TalentPass profiles set up, supervisors can quickly assess staff skills, making it easier to assign roles or responsibilities based on experience and certifications. This visibility improves team performance and helps build a stronger kitchen and front-of-house lineup.
Sarah: “It’s so helpful to see all of your certifications here, Leo. You’d be great for the lead role in our next event.”
Leo: “I’m honored—I’d love to bring my skills to something bigger!”
Long-Term Vision: Planning for TalentSync with Gobekli
After experiencing the benefits of TalentPass, Shoreline Bites is eager to explore TalentSync’s capabilities for the future. By sponsoring the Skills-Based Hiring Tool and Central Talent Tree, the company could develop a complete map of employee skills and growth paths, fostering a skills-driven work culture.
Mia: “With a skills-based hiring tool, we can bring in talent that fits our standards from day one.”
Alex: “It would also help us retain staff who want to see clear opportunities for growth.”
Building a Skills Culture with TalentSync: Enhanced Internal Promotion Pathways
With TalentSync’s Central Talent Tree, Shoreline Bites can visualize the full spectrum of skills within their workforce. This creates transparency for internal promotions and builds engagement, giving employees a clear roadmap for advancing their careers.
Manager 1: “This view helps us see who’s ready for new roles and who could benefit from additional training.”
Manager 2: “It’s amazing to think about using skills to drive promotions and retention!”
For Shoreline Bites, the TalentPass field test offers immediate benefits, allowing employees to display their credentials and skills while simplifying role assignments for supervisors. Looking forward, TalentSync sponsorship would allow Shoreline Bites to implement a skills-driven culture, supporting efficient hiring, retention, and long-term employee engagement. Gobekli’s TalentPass and TalentSync together offer Shoreline Bites a flexible and customizable pathway to sustainable workforce development.
