No Resumes, Just Skills: Smarterer Grabs $1.75M From True, Google Ventures; Tony Conrad Joins Board

Resumes, they say, are ineffective but Boston-based startup Smarterer believes it has the solution. The company's platform provides job searchers with a simple way to show employers what they know by taking quizzes in subjects that range from engineering to music. Smarterer then crowdsources its test designs and employs a smart ranking system to give job searchers a score. Finally, it allows them to broadcast their successes to the world. After launching in late 2010, the gamified test-taking platform struggled to find growth early. It has turned that story around of late, especially after launching "Skill Sets," which allows companies to offer Smarterer quizzes as part of their online job applications. This enables hiring managers to then use the startup's tools to further validate a candidate's skills.
