SkyHive
SkyHive is an artificial intelligence technology that deepens our understanding of labour markets, workforces and individuals, enabling new ways of acquiring, developing and engaging talent.
|
SkyHive solves for the future of work and takes a revolutionary approach to apply deep learning to enhancing gender equality and inclusion while providing unprecedented insights into the current and future labour market.
SkyHive objectively extracts the skills of a company’s human capital, and applies machine learning to find correlations that maximize the efficiency in the development and deployment of its workforce. It provides companies with deep knowledge of organizational skillsets, skills gaps, and accurate predictions of future workforce requirements, resulting in a drastic compression of the time spent acquiring talent and highly engaged, innovative teams.

What's Innovative About Their Solution?
SkyHive takes a completely new approach to human capital management and disrupts the traditional "linear" process. It is not just a new technology; it provides companies with a new way to think about how they manage their human capital.
SkyHive also revolutionizes the depth of knowledge a person has about their own capabilities and how they relate to the labour market or workforce. It enables them to focus on both targeted career development and learning that adapts with the labour market to ensure career relevancy throughout periods of rapid change.
SkyHive is revolutionizing how the automotive sector approaches preparing its existing workforce for the next five years, as the world delves even further into autonomous vehicles and electric cars. Or facilitating one of the world's largest companies that is transforming into an "impact" workforce of innovation, diversity, inclusion and agility. Or helping one of the world's largest technology companies develop an entirely new division of a future workforce. Or supporting a country ravaged by natural disaster connect volunteers to reconstruction projects based on skills.
