Eightfold AI

Eightfold AI is the leading AI-powered talent intelligence platform, founded in 2016 by Ashutosh Garg (former Google AI/research scientist) and Varun Kacholia. The company has raised $410M in total funding—including a $220M Series D led by General Catalyst and Lightspeed Venture Partners—achieving a $2.1B valuation and projections of $3–4B by 2026.

Eightfold's Talent Intelligence Platform is built on a proprietary deep-learning model trained on 1.6+ billion career profiles and 1.6+ million skills, enabling organizations to hire, retain, and grow smarter through AI-driven matching that goes beyond résumé keywords to identify potential and fit. Core capabilities include AI recruiting with automated sourcing and candidate matching, talent management for internal mobility and career pathing, workforce planning with skills gap analysis, diversity hiring with bias mitigation built into matching algorithms, and agentic AI that screens high-volume applicants instantly and consistently.

Enterprise customers include Google, Meta, Vodafone, Chevron, Micron Technology, and S&P Global (which announced a strategic partnership in October 2025 to advance workforce capabilities). Eightfold serves 150+ Fortune 500 companies across industries including tech, healthcare, finance, and government.

The platform integrates with major HRIS systems (Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle HCM) and ATS platforms (Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS). Compliance features include GDPR, CCPA, SOC 2 Type II, and bias audit reporting.

Eightfold has launched Recruiter Agent and Sourcing Agent—AI agents that proactively source passive candidates and automate screening at scale—reducing time-to-hire by 40–60% in enterprise deployments.
