A Machinist's Mate ran the mechanical plant on a warship. Your applicant tracking system reads "MM2, USS Bainbridge" as nothing. That isn't a talent shortage — it's a translation failure, repeated hundreds of thousands of times a year. MATCHING THAT READS THE JOB Post the role you can't fill. The Talent SmartGrid™ reads every requirement — certifications, equipment, the work itself — turns them into the skills and credentials that define "qualified," then matches those against what veterans can prove they've done, whatever it was called in uniform. Every match shows what's confirmed and what needs confirming, in tiers: exact fit or adjacent. Never a percentage, never a score we made up. When we don't have someone, we say so. DIGITAL SKILL BADGES Verified Skill Badges turn service and fellowship work into portable, supervisor-endorsed credentials on the Open Badges 3.0 standard — checkable in one click, theirs to keep. Four levels: verified, supervisor confirmed, would hire again, was hired. Earned by evidence, never bought. (Coming soon; the SkillBridge Credential is live.) INTO THE SYSTEM YOU ALREADY RUN Requisitions come out of your ATS; matched veterans go back in, evidence attached. Nobody learns a new tool. (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS coming soon — until then our team does the handoff.)
