Eightfold – An Al-Powered Talent Intelligence Platform™ Transforming How Organizations Hire and Retain a Diverse Global Workforce

The Silicon Review

A platform refers to substantial piece of software, an operating system, or a database that other companies can access for content distribution purposes or use as a foundation on which to build their own products. Platforms are designed to allow third parties to use the platform infrastructure to deliver value to users via data and process integrations. The pandemic really brought platforms forward in all areas, including HR and talent, because we learned that things change constantly. People are more overwhelmed than ever and integrating talent processes into natural workflows becomes a necessity. Everybody needs flexibility, and so a flexible platform is needed. A talent intelligence platform integrates insights about workers – their skills, capabilities, experiences, career aspirations, performance, demographics, learning needs, development opportunities – and uses this information to help people find the right opportunities for them.

Eightfold is one such talent intelligence platform that was developed to collect, index, and analyze millions and millions of profiles and use advanced AI to match them to jobs, opportunities, and career paths. But the solution doesn’t stop at profiles. Eightfold looks carefully at adjacent skills, people you know, companies you have worked for, the time spent in various jobs, education, and work locations – all of which provides a more comprehensive view of an individual. Eightfold’s algorithm aims to infer skills not just from jobs — you can train it by using data from successful candidates and then it looks for candidates with similar attributes. It learns quickly, and it learns well. Because Eightfold’s talent intelligence platform is built as an integrated platform, it ingests data from a wide variety of sources – from employee profiles and HRMS data, jobs, ATS data, learning systems, performance data – to match across different areas and for many different use cases, helping recruiters get better and faster at talent matching.
