Eightfold

What is Eightfold?

Eightfold Talent Intelligence is an AI platform designed to help organizations get the most out of their workforce, optimizing both how they bring in new talent and how they develop existing employees. It covers the full talent lifecycle: talent acquisition, talent management, talent flex, workforce exchange for managing people across projects, and resource management.

The platform is built on deep-learning AI. This technology provides insights about your talent pool, supports data-driven decisions, and matches individuals to projects based on their current skills and potential. Eightfold aims to simplify project-based work, remove information gaps between teams, help you find needed skills, build more diverse teams, and enable smarter talent decisions.

Who created Eightfold?

Eightfold was founded by Ashutosh Garg and Varun Kacholia, who launched the company on February 22, 2020. Their mission is to transform how we work by offering a single AI platform that handles all aspects of talent — finding people, managing them, and generating insights about them — using deep-learning AI to help companies unlock their employees’ full potential.

What is Eightfold used for?

Eightfold supports a skills-first approach across the entire talent lifecycle:

• Talent acquisition: Find and grow great talent, go beyond traditional resumes with AI-driven matching, and deliver personalized candidate experiences.
• Talent management: Help employees align their career goals with the company’s business strategy and develop their skills over time.
• Workforce insights: Gain a clearer picture of your workforce and make informed, data-backed decisions.
• Project staffing: Match the right people to the right projects based on skills, potential, and learnability, improving productivity and outcomes.
• Resource management: Use skills, potential, and learnability to allocate resources effectively.
• Contingent workforce management: Source and manage temporary or contract workers efficiently and at scale.
• Diversity and collaboration: Build more diverse teams and eliminate information silos that slow down talent teams.

In short, Eightfold provides a comprehensive set of tools for unlocking employee potential — from hiring and career development to project staffing and contingent workforce management — all powered by a skills-first, deep-learning AI approach.
