Core offering

Sigma Squared sells an AI-driven workforce and operational intelligence SaaS platform that analyzes each client's own historical people, customer, and operational data to identify predictors of performance, retention, and promotion, then builds organization-specific success profiles and embeds real-time, bias-tested scoring into the client's existing ATS, HRIS, and CRM systems. The platform is delivered through three solution areas — Talent & Hiring, Revenue Intelligence, and Public Safety/Law Enforcement — anchored by two core products, QualFit (readiness-based candidate assessment) and Event Study (causal event analytics).

Product overview

Sigma Squared is a talent optimization platform built on one unified intelligence layer that connects workforce data to measurable outcomes. The core products include QualFit (readiness-based hiring assessment) and Event Study (causal analytics), which are delivered across three solution areas: Talent & Hiring, Revenue Intelligence, and Public Safety. All solutions use the same methodology—finding signals in an organization's own historical data, building validated success profiles unique to that organization, and embedding intelligence in real time inside the tools teams already use.
