It has identified an unmet need that is likely to arise from the expected surge in jobseekers in the UK, along with potentially prohibitive hiring costs to employers, as a result of COVID-19\. It proposes to develop an AI-based recruitment platform that will bring existing and prospective employers and COVID-19 impacted employees/jobseekers together in one place. In doing so, it aims to streamline hiring systems and reduce costs for employers.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
