Career Pathways

How BluFutur Matches People to Roles (and Grows Them Beyond the Hire)

Skill-first. Proof over paper.

BluFutur turns a job seeker’s portfolio into a living skills passport, then maps it to the right role and the next steps on their trade career path. HR teams use the same engine for faster hiring, safer placements, and smarter upskilling.

What Our AI Looks At (Signals That Matter)

From the moment a candidate builds their BluFutur portfolio, our matcher scores fit using weighted, explainable signals:

Licences & Tickets: A-Grade, White Card, HR/MC, Working at Heights, EWP, Confined Space, Gasfitting, etc.
Skills & Experience: Tools, methods, OEM systems, fault-finding, estimating, site leadership, customer service.
Work History & Proof: Verified service logs, projects, photos/videos, supervisor refs, Proof-over-Paper badges.
Safety & Compliance: Inductions, incident-free hours, PPE competency, policy acknowledgements.
Availability & Location: Travel radius, shift preferences, remote/regional readiness, start date.
Pay & Contract Preferences: Hourly vs salary, award level, ABN/W2, overtime tolerance.
Learning Pathway Data: Completed or in-progress courses, RTO credits, micro-credentials.
Soft Signals: Reliability streak, message responsiveness, interview punctuality, culture & team-fit indicators.

Every match includes an explainable scorecard so HR can see why a candidate is a fit—and where a small skill gap can be bridged with training.

How It Works (Simple 4-Step Flow)

Create Portfolio: Candidate imports a resume (optional) → BluFutur auto-extracts licences, skills, projects, and verifies files.

AI Match & Shortlist: Job post is parsed into must-haves, nice-to-haves, and site rules. We return a ranked shortlist with gap flags.

Close the Gap (Instantly): For any red/yellow items, we offer course or ticket recommendations (RTO-ready) to convert near-fits to hires.

Hire & Develop: After placement, the same engine maps the employee to career pathways with ETA milestones and salary bands.

What HR & L&D Get (SMB → Enterprise)

Time-to-Fill Down, Quality Up: Ranked shortlists, verified evidence, and near-fit upskilling offers cut hiring loops by weeks.
Succession & Workforce Planning: See each employee’s next likely step, ETA to readiness, and course stack to get there.
Compliance by Design: Role → site → licence mapping with expiries, audit trails, and reminders.
Fair, Explainable Matching: Transparent scorecards reduce bias and support “why this candidate” decisions.
Cost Control: Replace agency spend with owned pipelines. Apply training only where ROI is highest.
Retention Levers: Clear pathways + salary visibility = fewer surprises and stronger engagement.
