People-Analytix

People-Analytix, founded in Zurich, Switzerland, in 2017 by Christoph Küffer, Cornel Muller, and Thomas Debus, provides a platform for managing employee skills. In October 2022, the company was acquired by Learning Pool, a portfolio company of Marlin Equity Partners, with the entire People-Analytix team joining the new parent company. The firm operates in the human resources technology market, serving large enterprise clients such as AXA, IKEA, Swisscom, and Siemens to help them navigate workforce transformation.

The company's core offering is an AI-powered skills management platform that helps organizations identify existing skills within their workforce, analyze skill gaps, and understand future talent requirements. Its proprietary multilingual skills ontology contains over 20,000 unique skills, which allows for detailed analysis of workforce capabilities and trends. For corporate clients, the platform provides tools for workforce analytics, skill profiling, and skill gap analysis. This enables them to match employees to relevant jobs, projects, and training opportunities, thereby supporting strategic reskilling and upskilling initiatives. For employees, the system functions as a virtual career assistant, offering insights into future-proof skills and suggesting personalized career development paths within the organization.

The business model is based on a subscription fee for access to its platform. Prior to its acquisition, People-Analytix had secured funding from institutional investors including Swisscom, Swiss ICT Investor Club, Future of Work Group, and Mica Ventures.
