Gigged.AI exists to eradicate tech skill shortages for enterprises using the power of internal mobility and our contingent talent network. Our products employ AI and skills-based matching to put the right people into the right roles with rapid speed and efficiency. Our Internal Talent Marketplace (ITM) provides skills analytics within a workforce and matches employees to the right projects, reducing the need for expensive external hires and improving retention. This solution can be deployed in hours and delivers ROI within 4 weeks. Our Open Talent Marketplace (OTM) uses AI to create an outcome-based or time and material statement of work (SOW) for your digital project and instantly matches you with verified talent from our global contingent talent pool. Our products are designed to help keep costs and headcount low, while driving project work forward. Given the ongoing market turbulence and increasingly elastic approach, our tools enable clients to drive efficiencies with a more flexible, agile approach to resourcing.
