Deployed over three years with large enterprises, Hitch has a proven track record of transforming organizations' ways of working and driving greater productivity at scale with several global customers, including Allianz Global Investors, Dolby Laboratories, and HERE Technologies.

“Hitch is an AI-based talent mobility solution with an experienced management team," said Josh Bersin, a global HR industry analyst. “The founder of Hitch has successfully implemented the agile model of talent mobility, and has a deep understanding of its benefits and applications.”
By using its proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms, Hitch matches the right skills to the right work. Hitch enables companies to visualize hidden skills within their organizations to maximize internal talent, increase enterprise agility, and build diverse teams. Companies using the platform seamlessly build unbiased, cross-functional teams, while keeping their workforce upskilled, reskilled, and engaged.
“Hitch provides companies complete visibility into the skills and passions of their employees, and matches them to project-based or full-time roles,” said Kelley Steven-Waiss. “Our Dynamic Teaming capability enables companies to staff mission-critical projects with internal talent and adapt quickly to changing market forces, all while maintaining work continuity and speed.”
Hitch has an experienced team of leaders, including former CHRO Kelley Steven-Waiss, who recently received the 2020 YWCA Silicon Valley’s 36th Annual Tribute to Women of Distinction Award for her outstanding business leadership. She brought together visionary HR practitioners, data scientists, and design experts to build this next-generation platform for the future of work.
“One of the many things I love about Hitch is the transparency - everybody can see every work opportunity, which was not visible before Hitch,” said George Hudgens, VP of People and Work Innovation at Dolby Laboratories. “Workforce planning was a major initiative at Dolby, and Hitch successfully helped catalog our talent and increase career opportunity awareness, while improving project transparency across departments, divisions, and continents.”
