What Gloat does
Gloat is a New York-headquartered enterprise software company founded in 2015 that sells an Agentic HR platform — an AI-native system of action for workforce orchestration — to large global enterprises. The company reports 100+ enterprise customers, 5M+ employees empowered, and operations across 112 countries, with named customers spanning financial services (Mastercard, HSBC, Standard Chartered, MetLife, Fidelity), consumer goods and retail (Unilever, Estee Lauder, Woolworths, Walmart, PepsiCo, Nestlé), pharmaceuticals (Novartis, Takeda), technology and media (Seagate, Spotify), telecommunications (Telstra), healthcare (Terumo), and energy (Schneider Electric). The platform is built on Loomra™, a proprietary Workforce Context Engine that combines a per-enterprise Knowledge Graph of 2.4 million entities and 18.7 million relationships, 14 purpose-built Intelligent Tools, custom embedding and retrieval models trained on 1B+ career events and 200M+ real matches, a Personalization Engine, and a Governance/Business Logic Engine that enforces customer approval workflows, RBAC, and compliance policies.
The product is delivered through deep, governance-aware native integrations with the three dominant enterprise HCM platforms — SAP SuccessFactors (OData v4 with CDC + write-back), Workday (REST + RaaS with ISU security), and Oracle HCM Cloud (REST + BICC + HDL write-back) — and surfaces its agents inside Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Slack, Google Chat, and Zoom. The Agentic HR Platform supports transactional, workflow, and strategic agents across Talent Management, Talent Acquisition, Skills, Workforce Planning, HR Operations, and Learning & Development. Gloat monetizes primarily through enterprise SaaS subscriptions, with a newer consumption-based pricing model tied to agent outcomes (third-party EU benchmarks reference €2–€9 per employee per month for the category), supplemented by partner-enabled implementation and consulting services delivered through Mercer, Deloitte, KPMG, Korn Ferry, AMS, and others across APAC, EMEA, USA, and Global regions. Distribution combines enterprise direct sales, co-sell with Workday/SAP/Oracle/Microsoft, the Microsoft Agent Store and Microsoft Marketplace, and an AWS-hosted cloud footprint. The company is privately held, has raised approximately $192 million across disclosed venture rounds (latest: $90M Series D in June 2022 led by Generation Investment Management), and is led by founders Ben Reuveni (CEO), Danny Shteinberg (CPO), and Amichai Schreiber (CTO).

Revenue model
- Enterprise SaaS subscriptions: Primary revenue stream from enterprise customers licensing the Agentic HR platform, including integrations with Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle HCM, Microsoft Teams, and Microsoft 365 Copilot. Standard enterprise SaaS commercial model.
- Consumption-based agent execution: Gloat's Academy frames a consumption-based pricing model that ties charges to agent outcomes and value delivered rather than per-employee per-year flat fees — flipping traditional HR technology economics. Reference EU pricing benchmarks indicate roughly €2–€9 per employee per month.
- Partner-enabled services & implementation: Revenue is complemented by implementation, consulting, and integration services delivered through a network of strategic advisory partners, systems integrators, and technology providers across APAC, EMEA, USA, and Global regions.

Product offeringCore offering
Gloat builds and sells an enterprise Agentic HR Platform — a Workforce Agility Operating System that uses AI agents (powered by its proprietary Loomra Workforce Context Engine) to understand, reason, and act on workforce decisions including internal mobility, skills inference, succession planning, talent acquisition, learning, and HR operations. The platform connects natively to enterprise systems of record (Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle HCM) and surfaces AI-powered agents inside Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 Copilot for 100+ large enterprise customers.
Product overview
Gloat offers a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on the Agentic HR Platform — a single, AI-native system of action for workforce orchestration that evolved from the earlier Workforce Agility Platform. The Agentic HR Platform is powered by Loomra, Gloat's proprietary Workforce Context Engine, which combines a Knowledge Graph, 14 Intelligent Tools, a Personalization Engine, Retrieval & Embedding models, and a Business Logic / Governance Engine. Layered on top are major sub-products and modules including the Talent Marketplace, Skills Planner, Studio (no-code agent builder), Skills Landscape, Gloat Hiring, My Team, Opportunity Hub, and dedicated integrations for Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 Copilot, SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, and Oracle HCM. Earlier capabilities Signal, Mosaic, and Ascend continue as named modules within the orchestration stack, while InnerMobility was the original talent marketplace product that pre-dated the current platform.

Gloat competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Workday: Workday is the dominant cloud HCM incumbent and a core integration partner for Gloat via Workday RaaS and REST APIs. With Workday Illuminate and native skills cloud capabilities, Workday increasingly competes with Gloat as a broad incumbent, embedding talent marketplace and AI functionality directly into its HCM rather than via third-party agents.
- Oracle HCM Cloud: Oracle HCM Cloud is a core Gloat integration partner (REST + BICC + HDL) and a major enterprise HCM suite. With Oracle Grow and Dynamic Skills, Oracle increasingly bundles AI-driven talent intelligence and mobility features that overlap with Gloat's offerings inside the Oracle HCM footprint.
- Microsoft (Viva / Copilot): Microsoft Viva and Microsoft 365 Copilot are broad-incumbent workforce experience and AI surfaces that Gloat integrates with and increasingly competes against. Microsoft embeds skills, learning, and people-centric experiences directly into Teams and Copilot, both as a distribution channel for Gloat and as a potential substitute.
- SAP SuccessFactors: SAP SuccessFactors is one of Gloat's core HCM integration partners (OData v4 REST) and a leading global HCM platform. SAP's Joule AI and embedded talent marketplace features make it a broad incumbent that increasingly overlaps with Gloat's skill inference, succession, and mobility use cases within the SuccessFactors installed base.
Direct peers
- Eightfold AI: Eightfold AI is the closest direct competitor to Gloat, offering an AI-native Talent Intelligence Platform that combines a skills graph, talent marketplace, workforce planning, and talent acquisition for Fortune 500 enterprises. Both compete head-to-head in the internal mobility, skills inference, and HR-AI category with overlapping buyer personas (CHROs, talent leaders).
- Phenom: Phenom is a direct competitor offering an AI-powered talent experience platform that includes an internal talent marketplace, career pathing, skills intelligence, and recruitment marketing for large enterprises. Phenom competes with Gloat in the same internal mobility and skills-based talent management category.
- Beamery: Beamery is a direct competitor providing an AI-driven talent platform with skills ontology, talent marketplace, workforce planning, and candidate relationship management for global enterprises. Both companies target CHROs and compete for the same internal mobility and skills-graph use cases.
Emerging players
- iCIMS: iCIMS is a listed Gloat technology partner (ATS integration) and a leading enterprise talent acquisition platform. iCIMS competes with Gloat's Gloat Hiring and external talent acquisition modules but lacks the same depth in internal mobility and skills intelligence.
- Degreed: Degreed is a listed Gloat technology partner and a learning experience platform with skills taxonomy and capability graph functionality. Degreed competes partially with Gloat in skills intelligence and learning recommendations for enterprise L&D buyers.
- Cornerstone OnDemand: Cornerstone is a listed Gloat technology partner and a major learning, talent, and skills platform. Cornerstone's adaptive HCM and skills-forward AI capabilities overlap with Gloat's learning and skills use cases, making it an emerging competitor as both expand into skills inference.
