UpMo’s Social Talent Engine from UpMo on Vimeo.

UpMo released the UpMo Social Talent Engine, to help organizations match job opportunities to the skills, capabilities, and interests of employees:

“UpMo empowers employees to translate dreams to actions by finding their next career move within their company, not outside. UpMo keeps employees off external job boards by unleashing the hidden (and, until now elusive) connection between the career passions of employees with the short- and long-term needs of the business. With UpMo, companies thwart off the continuous churn of their best and brightest talent.“

In terms of collaboration technology frameworks, see Foundation 1 in the Four Foundations in Collaboration Roadmap (2011) for where I see UpMo fitting in.
