The skills layer your HRIS was never built to produce.

Live workforce data that moves at the speed of the business.

Caliko is a skills inventory and gap analysis platform built for mid-market companies.

01 · The problem

The skills gap most companies cannot see.

AI is rewriting jobs faster than HR systems can track them. When roles change, leaders are forced to make decisions blind: a reorg that moves the wrong people, a role left open for six months, a reskilling budget that produces no measurable change.

An HRIS holds records, not skills. Most companies answer skills questions with stale spreadsheets and manager guesswork, and only find out they were wrong after the cost lands.

02 · How it works

How Caliko runs skills gap analysis.

01 · Skills in

Build a profile per employee.

Caliko reads resumes, job descriptions, and performance conversations to build a skills profile for every employee.

02 · Roles mapped

Compare what is to what's needed.

Each person is mapped to their role. A promotion without the underlying skills shows up as a clear development target, not a problem found later.

03 · Managers review

Adjust and approve.

A dashboard shows the team's skills and gaps. Managers adjust and approve what the data shows.

04 · Leadership sees

The whole org, live.

An organization-wide view of skills, gaps, and an internal marketplace of who can move where.

The data stays current on its own A short check-in lands in Slack or Teams, employees note what they are working on, and a colleague or manager can vouch for it. That work shows up in the marketplace. No annual survey.
03 · Why Caliko

Skills gap analysis that does not assume you already have clean data.

Enterprise skills platforms are built for companies that already have clean job architecture and a populated skills database. Almost no mid-market company does.

Caliko generates that data from scratch, starting with the employee. That is why it works at 500 employees, not only at 40,000.

04 · When Caliko matters

When Caliko matters.

Caliko earns its place when the workforce is in motion.

  • After a reorg, when you need to know who fits the new roles
  • During an acquisition, with two teams you cannot yet see as one
  • When a new People leader needs to understand the org fast
  • When AI is reshaping the work and you need to know who can reskill
  • When you have outgrown the spreadsheet but an enterprise platform is overkill

Built for organizations of 500+ employees.

05 · What each role gets

Internal mobility, built from the employee up.

Employees

A clear picture of where they could go next.

Employees see their skills, their gaps, and the paths the data opens up.

Managers

A live view of the team they actually run.

Managers see what their team can do, with the ability to review and approve.

Leadership

The workforce view an HRIS cannot produce.

Leadership sees organization-wide skills and mobility, live, not in a quarterly slide.

06 · Common questions

Common questions.

What is a skills inventory?

A skills inventory is a current record of the skills your workforce holds. Caliko builds one automatically from employee work history and real projects, then keeps it current.

How do you identify skills gaps across an organization?

Caliko maps every employee to their role and compares the skills they have to the skills the role needs. The gaps surface as clear development targets.

What is internal mobility software?

Internal mobility software helps companies fill roles and projects with people they already employ. Caliko shows leadership who can move where, based on live skills data.

How is Caliko different from our HRIS?

An HRIS holds employee records. It does not show what your people can actually do. Caliko builds the skills layer your HRIS was never designed to produce.

Can Caliko create development plans for my team?

Yes, and it takes one click. Once Caliko has mapped an employee's skills against their role, the manager sees exactly where the gaps are. From there, one button turns those gaps into a development plan. No blank page, no guesswork. Caliko does the analysis so managers can spend their time coaching, not building documents. When development planning is this simple, managers actually do it, which is how skills data stays current and useful.

What size companies does Caliko work with?

Caliko is built for organizations of 500+ employees, where skills blindness starts to carry real cost but a six-figure enterprise platform is the wrong tool.

See your workforce clearly.
