A company aiming to make resumes obsolete has received a $1.9 million investment to develop its talent management platform.

Kalibrr, a Philippines-based company moving from a skills assessment and training platform to a full-service talent management firm, received the investment of PhP 83 million ($1.9 million US) from the Omidyar Network, Siemer Ventures, Learn Capital, and Kickstart Ventures, according to published reports.

Kalibrr is developing a network that will change the way companies discover, screen, and recruit talent. As a training and recruitment firm, Kalibrr gathered data it is now using to develop its cloud-based platform, which will use algorithms and online assessments to match jobseekers with job openings.

'We want to make the resume obsolete. The way we do that is we don't showcase what's on our resume, [but] we showcase the skills that [candidates] are capable of,' says Kalibrr CEO Paul Rivera.
