Overview

About SkyHive

SkyHive (now part of Cornerstone) is a workforce intelligence platform that uses AI to analyze labor market data, predict future skill needs, and identify reskilling pathways. Their platform focuses on workforce planning through external labor market intelligence — understanding where skills demand is heading and what reskilling is needed to stay competitive.

Best forOrganizations focused on workforce planning and reskilling strategy informed by external labor market intelligence and future skills demand data.

But labor market intelligence tells you where the market is heading — not what skills your people have today. SkillsDB closes that gap with assessed internal proficiency data, so your workforce planning is grounded in reality, not just external projections.

Differentiation

Why Teams Choose SkillsDB

Your Internal Reality

SkyHive tells you where the market is heading. SkillsDB tells you where your people actually are — assessed proficiency, verified gaps, and real development progress. You need both to plan; SkillsDB provides the internal ground truth.

Develop, Not Just Predict

Labor market projections inform strategy. But strategy without execution is a slide deck. SkillsDB gives you the tools to actually close gaps — assessments, learning plans, career pathways, and certification tracking.
