strategy that concentrates sales and marketing resources on a clearly defined set
of target accounts within a market and employs personalized campaigns designed

touch patterns, marketing collateral, messaging against the Account Based

Talent management is facing new challenges driven by several critical trends.
One is that Millennials and post-Millennials are now a majority of your workforce.
They are changing jobs much faster than earlier generations, but they would stay with their current employers if they could find a career path internally.
Social awareness of diversity and inclusion is now mainstream, and employees don’t accept the status quo—they demand meaningful action.
These are the broad challenges you face, and you have to face them together. Eightfold is able to offer a compelling, AI platform that empowers you to address these needs.
So, how are we actually able to do this with AI? We combine enterprise data with publicly available data, using deep learning artificial intelligence, to deliver talent management results.
The enterprise data contains billions of outcomes: from interviews, phone screens, and hiring decisions. Each of these decisions is one outcome: do we interview this person or not, do we hire them or not, and so on.
We have more than 100 million resumes. We also gather information from public sources, including from public databases, social media sites, statistical sites, and more. More than 6000 total sources. Altogether, this is a very rich and continuously growing data set with billions of data points.
All of this information is combined in our Deep Learning models, which learn what skills and experiences make a great employee
Lower attrition, retaining more of the top talent you need to thrive.
More flexibility gained from an understanding of individual capabilities
Career planning services that are equally available to every employee. This inclusive approach is important—career growth will not be based on one’s personal network or background.
We’re able to accomplish this because we have the deepest expertise in AI. Our founding team built the key AI technologies for Google and Facebook, and between them our founders have more than 80 patents in machine learning, AI, and personalization.
Quick Steps:
Work with you AE to gather 30 accts for the quarter.
Choose accounts that fall under 1-2 industries and choose 2 LOBs to focus. Ex. 3 AEs * 30 = 90 accounts
3. Mark those Accounts in SFDC & create an Account View.
4. Mark the contacts in SFDC and create a contact view.
Put together the framework.
