Harness the Power of Your Enterprise: WhoKnows

“WhoKnows provides the critical insights and data you need to accelerate your business and retain talent.”

In this fast paced world of business, fortunes rise and fall on how well companies can visualize the future trends in human capital and thereby adjust to them. Human resources are one of the most important assets of a company. Realizing the full potential of quantifying a workforce is necessary to accelerate innovation and employee engagement. California- based WhoKnows is at the forefront of educating our prospects about the future of human capital.

WhoKnows was founded by Toufic Saliba in 2012. Toufic was the inventor of the machine learning algorithms to incorporate actual work behavior into the company’s discovery platform to provide the most accurate expertise and relationship discovery in the market today.

The company is building the first cognitive business network using machine learning, contextual intelligence, and people analytics. WhoKnows is the only solution that can unlock the entirety of your organization’s knowledge and relationships. WhoKnows’ employee profiles are always up-to-date, unbiased, and weighted from the work actually being done. No other solution in the market can provide that level of detail and ease of use.

Smart Solutions for Professionals
WhoKnows’ patented discovery engine automatically derives expertise and relationships for users to review and publish expertise without manual entry. It provides smart solutions for professionals to promote themselves, get answers and warm intros while growing their career. The company helps organizations accurately understand their tacit knowledge and social capital to increase collaboration, engagement and workforce planning.

How It Works
WhoKnows starts by allowing the user to import any profiles including LinkedIn, SharePoint and more. Users can optionally connect their work emails to determine the quality and volume of their relationships and build out their social graph. Once installed, the user simply works as any normal day. WhoKnows only analyzes work-related activity, so all personal activity (shopping, fantasy football, Facebook, etc.) are ignored. After WhoKnows is confident of a skill the user has demonstrated, it will make a recommendation and ask whether they want to publish it. Nothing is visible to admins, colleagues or managers until the user chooses to publish it, so their privacy is always protected. WhoKnows will continue to make recommendations over time to keep the user’s profile looking its best!
