Eightfold.ai: Talent Acquisition, Management, Diversity and Candidate Experience on one Platform

“We believe employment is the backbone of our society, and everyone deserves the right job.”

Eightfold is the industry’s first Talent Intelligence Platform, built for enterprises, to address Talent Acquisition and Management in a holistic fashion. Eightfold empowers people to pursue the career path of their choosing. The platform is built with three pillars in mind:

First, the company believes that people are every enterprise’s greatest asset, and it wants to put them at the center. We aggregate all people data within an enterprise - from applicants to alumni - which are currently soloed across many different point solutions. This becomes the richest & most comprehensive Talent Network for each enterprise.

Second, it uses data to provide intelligence on what people are capable of doing instead of just what they have done in the past. This allows enterprises to more effectively match people to the right opportunities.

Third, using AI, the platform continuously learns from enterprise and individual performance to predict future roles, performance, and career alternatives.

What it offers

Talent Acquisition

Find, Nurture, and Hire Faster with a True AI-Powered Talent Acquisition Solution. Eightfold’s Talent Acquisition solution solves the problems of modern recruiting, bending back the rising cost of hiring and freeing recruiters to focus on engaging great candidates instead of repeating administrative tasks. This data sheet describes the key features of Eightfold Talent Acquisition and the outcomes companies can expect with this powerful technology.

Talent Diversity

Hide all evidence of personal characteristics so hiring managers cannot see age, gender, ethnicity, geography, or other bias-triggering factors.

Eightfold presents potential candidates to hiring managers without any identification of personal characteristics, so that hiring managers evaluate candidates purely on expertise, experiences, merit, potential, and skills. The factors that are hidden, and who they are hidden from, can be configured to match the policies and goals of each organization.

• Increase hiring of underrepresented groups
• Remove bias and measure the impact
• Embed diversity in your hiring process.

Move from employer centric to employee centric

Give employees internal career paths & help them reach their goals. 87% of employers say that a strategic internal mobility program would increase their employee retention and bring in better candidates, but just 33% of employers have such a program.

Eightfold provides a ranked, matched list of options for a current employee to pursue an internal transfer. Employees can also be notified of relevant opportunities, and can apply quickly through the platform.

• Reduce unwanted attrition, and reduce spending to replace turnover
• Advance your best people before they leave
• Direct flight-risk employees to internal opportunities.

Instant Job matching

Show the right jobs to every person instantly. Instant Job Matching personalizes your career site to each individual. Candidates can upload a resume and instantly match to relevant jobs according to their skills, experience, & interests—then apply with as little as one click.

This personalized approach is much faster, more accurate, and more transparent about qualifications and requirements for a job, and encourages qualified candidates to apply.

• Offer a personalized candidate experience
• Increase inbound applications from underrepresented groups, particularly women candidates
• Increase application rates from Web and reduce abandonment.
