In the fast-evolving world of business, organisations are increasingly aware of the importance of skill-based management. Yet, as they strive to become fully skill-based, they encounter significant challenges. The current HR systems, though well-intentioned, often fall short of addressing the real needs of businesses today. The lack of comprehensive skill data for employees, coupled with a reliance on subjective evaluations, leaves organizations unable to harness the potential of their talent fully.
"The lack of domain-intelligent technology exacerbates these issues. Current systems often lack contextual understanding, leading to ineffective solutions. The absence of dynamic skills frameworks makes it hard to keep pace with changing demands," explains Saurabh Jain, founder and CEO of Spire.AI, a company that delivers talent operating models for skill-based organisations.
Specifically in India, addressing the skill gap presents several challenges. One primary issue is the disparity in skill levels across different regions and industries, compounded by the rapid pace of technological advancements. "Many organizations still rely on outdated systems that lack the flexibility to adapt to changing skill requirements. Additionally, there is often resistance to adopting new technologies due to concerns mainly around the perceived complexity of implementation. Ensuring data quality and integration is another hurdle, as fragmented and siloed information can lead to inaccurate skill assessments," he further adds.
AI to Enhance Talent Technology
AI tools play a crucial role in Spire.AI's solutions, as they aggregate and analyse unstructured data from diverse sources to generate comprehensive skill profiles for employees with minimal input, such as job titles and experience or grades. "This allows for precise reskilling recommendations, career path simulations, and a robust skills-based internal talent marketplace. Spire.AI AI-powered frameworks continuously learn and adapt, ensuring they remain up-to-date with the latest skill trends and requirements in the marketplace," Saurabh Jain says.
The AI Copilot tool enhances talent management by providing unbiased, data-driven opportunities for internal mobility and growth. The precision of the AI matching engine significantly improves internal mobility by utilizing cross-pollination across supply and demand, reducing the time to identify suitable matching employees and reducing the burden of external hiring while increasing the match-to-offer ratio.
He further explains that AI tools are deployed to aggregate and analyze unstructured data from diverse sources, generating detailed employee skill profiles. "Our AI-powered framework automatically identifies skill gaps, recommends reskilling paths, and simulates career progression, ensuring employees and organizations can proactively address future skill needs - all of this without employees needing to enter any data in the forms, data is automatically generated and presented to employees for their self-verification which thereafter is validated by manager or SMEs," he says.
Groundbreaking Large Ground Models for Skill Talent
Additionally, the brand taps into LGM or Large Graph Models for Skills, which utilizes domain-intelligent AI tools to revolutionize talent management. "Spire.AI's LGM has over 10 million skill graph nodes that map skills, competencies, and qualifications across various industry domains and functions. The LGM identifies complex relationships between skills, including how they complement each other, their relevance to specific roles, and their progression paths," the CEO further adds. The LGM also integrates data from diverse sources and ensures a comprehensive and up-to-date model reflecting the latest job market and skill requirements. Advanced algorithms identify and map these relationships, recognizing skill adjacencies, hierarchies, and dependencies. The LGM enhances various aspects of talent management. The model facilitates personalized learning and development programs, recommending tailored training pathways to bridge skill gaps and support career progression, increasing employee engagement and retention.
"A standout feature of the LGM is its continuous learning and evolution. As the model acquires new data, it updates its understanding of skill relationships, ensuring organizations access the most accurate skill information. The LGM's contextual understanding comprehends the relevance of skills within specific industries and roles, providing tailored and domain-specific insights," he adds. Additionally, the LGM aids strategic workforce planning by providing insights into the current skill inventory and future needs. It encourages internal mobility by mapping potential career paths and optimizing talent utilization by identifying underutilized skills.
The HR landscape is evolving rapidly, emphasizing personalized employee development, strategic workforce planning, and efficient talent management. As businesses strive to remain competitive, the demand for AI-driven solutions continues to grow. Large Graph Model (LGM) for Skills and other innovative tools provide the agility and precision needed in modern HR practices. It further paves the way for exploring partnerships and collaborations to extend reach and impact. This further empowers more organizations to transition seamlessly into skill-based models, ensuring they remain competitive and future-ready in a rapidly changing business landscape.
