PRODUCT/SERVICE: Strategy 
CEOs and human resource professionals face the growing problem of trying to identify, recruit and retain top talent.  Advances in technology have only added to the abundance of unqualified resumes and mis-hires.  There is too much ‘data’ from keyword searching and not enough ‘information’ on which to make hiring and assignment decisions.
Diverging aspirations are known to be one of the top reasons why employers and employees choose to separate, and yet they are rarely analyzed during today’s business processes of external candidate identification or internal employee assignments.  Among high value employees, 22% often think of quitting, and 20% would leave for a similar job.**
The Skill Cubes™ solution leverages career aspirations as the method for skills matching during candidate identification, resume assessment, and internal job assignments.  Matching the aspirations of candidates to those of the job order is the key to successful recruiting, retention and productivity.
The Skill Cubes™ solution provides each internal employee and each external job candidate with an aspirations based digital resume (a SkillCube™) containing both hard skills and soft skills.  Hiring managers create aspirations based digital job orders (SkillReqs™) containing the hard skills and soft skills of their ideal candidate.

Skill Cubes, Inc. has six distinct target markets to license their skills matching technology.
Annual sales projections for years 1-5 are:  $0, $5.7M, $18.8M, $44.3M, $59.9M
