Gigged.AI solves tech skill shortages for enterprises through on-demand talent and workforce intelligence. Our two platforms - which can be deployed separately or in one blended workforce solution - help tech leaders to deliver projects faster by giving them visibility over what capabilities exist in their teams and using data to put the right people into the right roles. This may be an existing employee or a member from our global contingent talent network. Our On-Demand Talent Platform uses AI to create an outcome-based or time and material statement of work (SOW) for a digital project and instantly matches it with verified talent from our global contingent talent pool. The platform offers enterprises access to over 500 technical skills and the average time to hire contingent talent is just 5 days from SoW creation to starting onboarding. By augmenting teams with on-demand talent, enterprises keep projects on track and costs under control, all through a single, compliant platform. Our Workforce Intelligence Platform provides skills analytics within a workforce to help give leaders complete visibility over employee and agent capabilities and how these can be leveraged to meet changing demands. It harnesses AI to seamlessly match employees and agents to the right internal projects, gigs, or full-time roles in seconds, no matter their department or location. The platform is designed to help enterprises harness their skill data so they can deliver transformation faster, reduce the need for expensive external hires and promote internal mobility. It can be deployed in hours and delivers ROI within 4 weeks. We are members of TechPassport, with an 82% enterprise readiness score and have a rating of 5 / 5 on Gartner Peer Insights thanks to our trusted clients.
