About Eightfold AI

Eightfold AI is a Talent Intelligence Platform that uses deep learning—rather than keyword matching—to understand the skills, experiences, and potential of every person in an organisation's talent ecosystem. Its AI models are trained on over one billion career trajectories globally, enabling it to identify hidden talent, predict candidate success, and recommend career development paths that match business needs. For talent acquisition, Eightfold's AI matches candidates to roles based on skills and demonstrated potential rather than surface-level keyword overlap, significantly expanding the qualified candidate pool while reducing time-to-fill. The platform can simultaneously evaluate internal employees as candidates, ensuring organisations consider their existing workforce before hiring externally. For talent management, Eightfold provides workforce intelligence tools that help HR leaders understand skill gaps across their organisation, model future workforce scenarios, and build internal mobility programmes. Managers can identify high-potential employees, understand flight risk, and generate personalised development plans—all informed by AI analysis of career trajectory data. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Santa Clara, California, Eightfold has raised over $410 million in funding including a $220 million Series E at a $2.1 billion valuation. The company serves enterprise customers including Vodafone, Bayer, Ericsson, and Morgan Stanley across more than 155 countries. As a platform that processes large volumes of sensitive personnel data, Eightfold AI places significant emphasis on responsible AI and compliance. The platform is SOC 2 Type II certified, ISO 27001 accredited, and supports GDPR and EEOC compliance. Eightfold's AI is designed to be skills-based and bias-aware, with built-in features to help organisations meet equal employment opportunity requirements and audit their AI-assisted hiring decisions for fairness.
