Talent Marketplace Matching Agent
Matches employees' verified skills inventory against internal projects, gigs, and stretch assignments to power a dynamic internal talent marketplace.
Organizations increasingly want to deploy talent flexibly across short-term projects, cross-functional gigs, and stretch assignments rather than relying solely on rigid, permanent role structures, but most lack a reliable, current picture of what skills actually exist across the workforce
Employee-reported skills on a resume or LinkedIn profile are typically stale, self-inflated, or too generic to power meaningful matching, and managers seeking project talent default to asking their existing network rather than searching a broader, mostly invisible talent pool
Without a functioning internal marketplace, employees with valuable adjacent skills stay siloed in their current role indefinitely, while project leads struggle to staff short-term needs and default to expensive external contractors or consultants instead
Skills also decay or grow over time, and a marketplace built on a one-time skills survey quickly becomes inaccurate as employees complete training, work on new types of projects, or shift focus
The agent builds and continuously refreshes a verified skills inventory per employee by combining self-reported skills, completed learning and certification records, and project outcome history, then matches this inventory against posted internal gigs, stretch assignments, and project needs. It scores match quality on skill fit, stated interest, and availability, taking into account current manager-approved capacity for gig work, and surfaces ranked candidate pools to project leads while notifying employees of relevant opportunities. Completed gigs feed back into the employee's skills inventory, keeping the marketplace increasingly accurate over time.
