About Us
In our current age, the skills required to succeed in a given role are changing faster than ever before, leaving companies with large skills gaps in their workforce and leaving managers unsure of how to address them.
At Spotted Zebra, we help enterprise clients to solve the evolving skills gap problem by giving them access to incredibly granular, employee level data that they’ve never seen before. With our cutting edge analytics platform, senior executives can now measure the skills that exist across their entire workforce, see where critical gaps exist and take corrective action to address them in their hiring, development and internal mobility efforts.
With our existing clients, including several FTSE100 companies, we’re already seeing the massive impact that skills-based decision making can have on organisational performance, diversity, culture and managerial insight.
We’re a profitable business and we’ve just closed a funding round led by a top European VC fund. We’re now putting the right team in place to help accelerate our growth and become the leader in the multi-billion dollar workforce planning technology market.
