TILR: Cincinnati startup launched a new app over Labor Day weekend designed to connect business owners with on-demand employees and circumvent the lengthy recruitment process. The way it works is rather than having a company or employer post a job, review resumes, screen potential temporary employees by phone, interview them in-person, make a hiring selection and then onboard them, the employer tells Tilr what it needs and the app will find the right person for the job.

HiringSolved will soon unveil what it considers “Siri for recruiting,” an artificial intelligence assistant for recruiters. His name will be RAI, pronounced like the name Ray, and standing for “Recruiting Artificial Intelligence.” The company has been working on it for five years, and is still perfecting it. The gist of it is you’d ask recruiting questions to a Chatbot-like system. So, instead of checking off a bunch of boxes, you’d type something like, “I need to find 10 female developers with experience using WordPress, within 10 miles of Milwaukee.”

LinkedIn: A year and a half ago, LinkedIn plunked down $1.5 billion for Lynda.com, the huge online learning site. Today, at an event in its San Francisco office, the company introduced LinkedIn Learning, a set of new features that incorporate Lynda.com courses into LinkedIn itself, so that members can find and take courses, see which ones their connections are taking, and otherwise learn skills that are useful to their careers, all within the context of LinkedIn. They're available starting today.

Indeed is taking aim at Southern California's high tech market, with the launch of its Indeed Prime in the market. According to Indeed, the service--specifically targeted at technology talent--will give employers access to a "curated pool" of people, based on coding skills, education, and work experience. The Indeed Prime service--unlike a typical job board or resume bank--specifically screens and prequalifies professionals with technical skills, such as software engineers, developers, UI/UX designers, and product managers. Indeed said it specifically launched the service in Los Angeles due to the high demand for techical professionals in the market.
