NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TalentNeuron, the leading provider of talent intelligence solutions, today announced the expansion of its skills taxonomy beyond 40,000 curated skills, making it the largest and most contextually rich database in the industry. This milestone innovation provides organizations with unparalleled insights into skills availability, role evolution, and expertise adjacencies, further solidifying TalentNeuron's position as a pioneer in the talent intelligence space.
"At this scale, TalentNeuron’s taxonomy is a compass for strategic workforce planning," said David Wilkins, TalentNeuron’s Chief Product and Strategy Officer. "As we grow beyond 40,000 curated skills, we're providing our clients with an unparalleled view of the current and emerging talent market, so whether they are competing for in-demand talent or developing new capabilities, they can proactively shape their talent strategies for an increasingly skills-driven economy."
TalentNeuron's skills taxonomy stands out not only for its unprecedented scale but also for its integrity. While taxonomies are frequently hampered by redundant or overlapping skills, TalentNeuron’s proprietary methodology combines expert human curation with advanced AI technologies to deduplicate multiple skills expressions into single, meaningful concepts — ensuring clarity and precision.
"Our skills taxonomy is not just a list of terms — it's a carefully curated, context-driven system," Wilkins explained. "TalentNeuron's methodology integrates systematic data extraction, including advanced AI skills detection, with human expertise, ensuring comprehensiveness and contextual accuracy. The human element is a critical differentiator in how we cultivate and refine our data, ensuring that the taxonomy remains accurate, relevant, and up to date with emerging skills and trends.”
Central to TalentNeuron's industry-leading taxonomy is its groundbreaking AI skills detection engine, marking a significant leap forward in talent intelligence. This innovative technology drives the evolution of the taxonomy, enabling it to keep pace with the fast-moving labor market – a unique capability in the industry. By identifying emerging terms and expressions and promptly suggesting them for research and inclusion, the engine ensures the taxonomy remains comprehensive, contextually accurate, and free of redundancies. The system's efficiency was recently demonstrated when it identified and classified 700 new skills in a single day.
The expanded skills taxonomy offers organizations the ability to create more precise job descriptions, enhance talent acquisition strategies, and optimize strategic workforce planning initiatives. TalentNeuron also provides customized skills mapping services, enabling organizations to integrate their unique skills nomenclature into the extensive taxonomy.
TalentNeuron clients and partners are already seeing the value of the expanded taxonomy:
