One Fortune 500 insurance provider discovered 33,000 previously invisible skills in their workforce after implementation, enabling more precise internal placements while reducing external hiring costs and boosting employee satisfaction through clear career advancement opportunities.

This unified approach means recruiters and managers see consistent candidate information regardless of where it originated, while employees move seamlessly between different HR tools and processes.
