The battle for talent is intense, and companies have more riding on the people side of their business than any other ongoing investment. How they attract, select, develop, and engage their people is the most important determining factor to their growth and achieving their mission. Enter Skillcloud Consulting Group: the leading human capital management consulting firm guiding leaders of the world’s most innovative companies through the complicated people side of their business.

Skillcloud specializes in talent acquisition, outsourced human resources, and human capital management (HCM) technology implementation and optimization. It helps organizations ensure their people are their most valuable asset through a consolidated approach to acquiring, retaining, engaging, and managing their workforce.

Skillcloud’s journey with clients begins with talent acquisition. It helps them find the best talent using its experienced consultants, proprietary database of candidates, proven processes, and technology tools.

“From there, we move to helping our clients retain and engage their employees. And the final piece is building out their HCM technology platform,” says Chris Dirksing, Managing Partner.

Recognizing the challenges associated with remote work, Skillcloud helps organizations better communicate with their employees and develop their skills to improve employee engagement. This results in a strong workforce and a positive work culture that attracts and retains top talent.

Skillcloud provides HCM solutions to manage the entire talent lifecycle, from recruitment to retirement. Its expertise in HCM system implementation helps organizations choose, configure, and implement the right system that meets their specific needs.

With the rise of remote work, traditional methods of engaging and developing workforces have become increasingly difficult to implement. By partnering with leading mid-market HCM technology vendors, Skillcloud provides its clients with automated tools that make it easier for them to manage their workforce even in a distributed environment.

What sets Skillcloud apart from its competitors is the combination of its capabilities and go-to-market strategy. Skillcloud delivers its comprehensive set of HR solutions to clients primarily through its HCM technology provider partners and venture capital channels.

“We can manage some or all of our clients’ people operations on a fractional basis that is both scalable and costeffective,” says Dirksing.

Skillcloud’s expertise in talent acquisition, HR, and HCM system implementation has helped numerous clients scale their businesses. In one instance, it assisted a VC-backed startup initially looking to fill a few critical roles. Skillcloud became their outsourced talent acquisition department providing the client with a selection of qualified candidates on every search, enabling the client to hire the best candidate for the job as opposed to the best available. While the startup’s workforce grew to over 100 employees, Skillcloud managed their HR needs, ensuring compliance in a remote work environment. The startup then relied on Skillcloud to implement a full HCM technology solution to better manage their workforce.

Committed to significantly reducing the cost-to-hire ratios while still enabling its clients to find the very best people, Skillcloud continues to roll out innovative solutions like its VC talent communities platform. Partnering with the leading community software provider, Skillcloud builds and manages talent communities for early-stage VC firms. Its talent communities allow portfolio companies to leverage the common hiring needs of their sister portfolio companies, repurposing talent throughout the portfolio, resulting in impact hires at a speed and cost that traditional alternatives cannot replicate.

With its diverse set of capabilities and commitment to delivering customized solutions, Skillcloud is a valuable partner for any organization looking to efficiently build and manage their workforce.
