Lightcast, the trusted provider of global labor market intelligence and expert guidance, today announced a significant advancement in job architecture with the launch of Skills Agent, a groundbreaking new automation capability integrated into its Talent Transform platform. Designed to address one of the most persistent challenges in workforce transformation, Skills Agent continuously updates skill-to-job associations in real-time, eliminating the need for manual skill mapping and the costly projects that have long hindered skills-based initiatives from scaling.
This product advancement equips HR and talent leaders with automated intelligence across roles, skills, and job architectures, transforming previously static job architectures into living, responsive engines of workforce strategy. Skills Agent represents a significant step forward in helping enterprises become truly skills-based at scale.
It gives HR teams:
- Real-time skills intelligence and justification – Skills Agent identifies, recommends, and justifies skills for job profiles based on real-time labor market data.
- Standardization and agility – Talent Transform enables organizations to standardize job architectures across various functions, business units, and geographies, ensuring role profiles stay current with evolving skills demands.
- Unique market-driven methodology – Talent Transform stands apart because it is built on Lightcast’s proprietary skills taxonomy, covering over 73,000 occupations and 34,000 validated skills. Unlike other approaches that rely solely on internal inference or lack a unified taxonomy, Lightcast’s job architecture solution integrates external labor market intelligence to benchmark internal data against emerging skills, industry shifts, and global trends. Lightcast’s skill taxonomy is recognized as an industry standard, adopted by 6,000 organizations globally and used by 250 HR tech partners.
“Talent Transform gave us the tools to drive our skills strategy independently. The platform gives us the clarity, structure, and market intelligence we need to govern skills effectively and keep our talent data current,” said Global L&D Leader from Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Devesh Awasthi. “It’s been a game-changer for driving a more skills-based approach across the organization.”
