Scikey: Presenting A Marketplace For Managing Talent

The need to pave way for the earlier alternate channels of talent like marketplaces, gig workers, contract workforce and remote talent are getting adopted mainstream, as a large section of workforce is already working from home for prolonged periods. SCIKEY, established in 2016, is a managed talent marketplace that enables employers globally to build and manage productive teams. The company headquartered in Pune has more than 1.5 million jobseekers, contract & remote workers, and over 2000 virtual recruiters on its managed talent marketplace. Moreover, it helps several public listed companies of the US & UK to employ and engage 400+ remote workers as a part of the Managed Talent Anywhere solution which is powered by SCIKEY’s Talent Commerce Platform.

While some clients are using the SCIKEY Talent Commerce Platform for building and managing productive teams, some are accelerating HCM and HR transformation efforts with deep people insights derived from the SCIKEY Talent Alignment Platform.
