A dual-purpose online platform helping graduates communicate their employability traits which also helps employers find the right match for entry-level jobs has been launched in Australia.
Monash Talent, developed by Melbourne-based Monash University, uses game-based mechanics to create a unique profile of graduates and match them with suitable employers.

Using the platform, graduates complete a series of games, based on research conducted by Mercer Australia, to create a rigorous set of diagnostics to capture cognitive, behavioural and emotional traits.
