What is Skill Society?

If you’ve ever watched a fresh job ad turn into a flood of admin, you’ll get why Skill Society exists. We’re a practical hiring toolkit built in Australia that helps teams move from chaos to clarity — quickly, fairly, and without long contracts.

In one sentence

Skill Society helps you meet the right people sooner by replacing inbox ping‑pong with structured, human‑centred workflows.

The short answer

We streamline the messy middle of hiring: pre‑qualification, scheduling, interviews, and reference checks. You choose the bits you need, pay in credits, and keep full control of the decisions.

The longer answer

Traditional tools either bury you in features you won’t use or reduce candidates to unhelpful scores. We do neither. Our job is to reduce busywork and surface evidence so you can make confident calls faster — without losing the human touch.

The building blocks

• Role Brief — Capture must‑haves and nice‑to‑haves once; set guardrails for the rest of the flow.
• Pre‑Qual Rules — A clear decision matrix that sorts applicants into Qualified, Pending, or Disqualified based on the criteria you set.
• Alex (Talent Assistant) — On‑demand voice screening that sounds natural. We record and transcribe so you can focus on listening.
• Scheduler — Candidates pick a time that suits; the back‑and‑forth disappears.
• Evidence Pack — Timestamps, short clips, and a concise summary you can share with stakeholders.
• References — Structured digital reference checks with consistent questions and a clear output.
• Candidate Updates — Automatic notifications so people aren’t left guessing.

What changes for your team

• You stop triaging inboxes and start reviewing evidence.
• First conversations happen within hours, not days.
• Managers see the same information and agree faster.
• Candidates get clear steps and timely updates.

Who it’s for

• Hiring Managers who want fewer resumes to skim and better conversations to have.
• Talent & HR teams managing multiple roles without adding headcount.
• Recruiters & RPOs who need reliable pre‑qualification at pace.
• VC‑backed startups chasing momentum and clean processes.

What it isn’t

• Not an ATS replacement (unless you want it to be). We play nicely with the stack you’ve already got.
• Not a black‑box “AI decides” system. You set the rules; we present the evidence.
• Not a recruitment agency. You own the relationships; we provide the rails.

Pricing in plain English

• Credits, not contracts. Use them when you need them.
• No setup fees. Start fast, pause anytime.
• Clear usage. Every action is logged so finance isn’t guessing.

Trust & data handling

• Password‑less sign‑in (magic links + one‑time codes).
• Audit trail for access and changes.
• Secure hosting with compliant providers, designed with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 practices in mind.
• Data control: export on request; archive or erase by agreement.

A typical week with Skill Society

1. Post your role & set criteria.
2. Applicants flow through pre‑qual and book time without emails.
3. Alex runs voice screening; you get transcripts and a neat summary.
4. You meet the standouts, armed with context instead of guesswork.
5. References are ticked off and attached to the candidate’s record.

When to use it vs when to wait

Use Skill Society when speed matters, volume is high, or stakeholders need alignment. If you’re hiring once a year and love spreadsheets, you may not need us (yet).
