Eightfold AI

Eightfold AI is a deep-learning talent intelligence platform for talent acquisition, internal mobility, and workforce planning.

Overview

Eightfold’s platform builds a global talent graph that maps skills to roles, learning paths, and career trajectories. Recruiters use it to surface candidates whose capabilities match a role even when job titles differ, while talent marketers engage passive candidates with personalized outreach. Internal modules identify current employees ready for new roles, recommend reskilling paths, and support diversity-aware workforce planning. Because the models are trained on large public career datasets, the system can infer skill adjacency rather than relying on exact keyword matches. The platform also supports contingent and alumni talent pools, so organizations can treat former employees and contractors as re-hireable inventory rather than starting searches from zero. Because the platform is deployed company-wide, recruiters, mobility teams, and workforce planners work from the same skills vocabulary instead of maintaining separate spreadsheets that quietly disagree with each other.
