Agenda:

11:05 AM, Confirm: Backed by the SHRM, Confirm injects science into talent management. Confirm leverages organizational network analysis to give leaders clear visibility over employee engagement and performance, thereby ensuring that all decision-making is data-led. Businesses like Niantic Labs and Canada Goose already rely on Confirm to drive truly science-backed, bias-free decisions on employee development, promotion, and retention. 

11:13 AM, Revelio Labs: Revelio Labs provides workforce intelligence. We absorb and standardize hundreds of millions of public employment records to create the world’s first universal HR database, allowing us to see current and historical workforce composition and trends of any company. Our customers include investors, corporate strategists, HR teams, academics, and governments. We provide data on headcounts, inflows, and outflows at a very granular definition of worker characteristics, such as occupation, location, seniority, education level, gender, and ethnicity. We also provide data on job postings, employee sentiment, and lay-off notices. There are two main issues we see in the publicly reported data: inconsistency in job titles and representativeness of data. We correct for these issues with our job taxonomy and cross-sectional scaling model. Revelio Labs collects unstructured online public profiles, resumes, and job postings, and curates and structures this data through the use of proprietary algorithms. Our delivery files provide data on employee characteristics, movement, and salary, and can be analyzed by positions, skills, geographies and seniority levels over time.
