Agentic talent intelligence for hiring and internal mobility

Reviewed by the the30top research team · Last reviewed 2026-10-27

Overview

Eightfold was founded in 2016 by former Google engineers and sells a talent intelligence platform for large employers. It carries a deep compliance set, including FedRAMP Moderate, SOC 2 Type II and several ISO certifications. Pricing is not published, and third-party estimates suggest an enterprise-scale per-employee model, so it is not suited to small recruiting teams.
