An international employer is hiring Carrier Sales Reps in Chicago, Naperville, Ann Arbor and Dublin, OH, and this time your résumé doesn’t have to tell the whole story. Here’s a new way in that lets your skills speak for you.

See how it works ↓

You’ve probably done this before.

Find the job. Upload the résumé. Hit apply. Hear nothing.

A filter often reads your job titles before any person does. Server. Front desk. Retail associate. Somewhere in that filter, the skills you use every shift get lost.

This job runs on skills you may already use.

Carrier sales reps keep freight moving. You’re on the phone with trucking companies, negotiating rates, juggling several loads at once, and staying calm when a plan falls apart at 4:55 on a Friday.

Sound familiar?

This employer is doing it differently.

Instead of sorting résumés, they’re using Talent Match. You take a free skills assessment built around the work of this exact job. Your results go into a marketplace their recruiters review, so your skills get seen first, not filtered out.

Industry experience helps. Your assessed skills count too.

Who’s behind Talent Match

“I believe there are a lot of people sidelined because they couldn’t get past the start. If I can help them as I had a few sparks of help and good luck, then perhaps I can help drive a transformation so much needed in the areas of the United States where people are being left behind, who need the skills to get a chance, and are ready to take a chance on themselves.”
