What skillsvista does

Skillsvista is an Ireland-based (Mallow) software company that sells a strategic workforce planning platform designed to match the right person to the right role with the right skillset. The product combines preloaded skills profiles covering thousands of job roles, real-time skills gap analysis at the individual, department, and organisational level, succession planning, internal job posting, OKR/project staffing, and a training library aggregating 90,000+ subsidised Irish courses (College, Springboard, Microcreds, Fetch) connectable to customer HRIS and LMS systems. The platform is delivered as a SaaS application at app.skillsvista.com and is supplemented by three adjacent offerings: a Skillsvista Student sub-brand for AI-guided career and CAO course matching; a dedicated Industry Bodies Platform that aggregates skills and training demand across member companies of trade associations and sector networks; and Consultancy Services combining advisory work with the live platform.

The company was founded by Jason Culloty (CEO) after first-hand experience with the difficulty of skills gap identification and training alignment; Kamil Mahajan serves as Chief Security Officer, with an extended network of project-based specialists. Customer segments span growing SMEs and large employers, with deeper GTM focus on manufacturing and engineering, construction, healthcare, public sector, Skillnets/government agencies, industry bodies, and Irish students. Distribution is hybrid: a self-serve sign-up funnel on app.skillsvista.com is paired with direct email-driven sales via [email protected] for enterprise plans, and consultancy-led deployment for complex workforce programmes.

Revenue is generated through three streams: per-user monthly subscription (€6/user/month for under 250 employees, €5/user/month for 250-1,000 employees, custom pricing for organisations over 1,000), a €5,000 one-time platform setup fee, and consultancy services covering workforce strategy, skills audits, retention planning, L&D ROI, and leadership development. Pricing is published openly on the company website. No external funding rounds, institutional investors, revenue figures, or partnership agreements are disclosed in the available data.

Emerging players

• Guild Education: Guild Education connects employees to education programmes with employer-funded tuition benefits, and is expanding into skills and career pathing. It is comparable to Skillsvista's training library and learning pathway features, particularly for employer-paid upskilling use cases.

Others

• Lightcast: Lightcast (formerly Burning Glass Technologies) provides labor market analytics, skills taxonomy data, and workforce intelligence feeds. It is a relevant data and taxonomy provider that powers parts of the broader skills ecosystem Skillsvista connects to.
• Springboard (Ireland): Springboard+ is an Irish government-funded upskilling programme that is a content partner for Skillsvista's training library. It is relevant as a content and policy ecosystem participant that Skillsvista integrates and that competitors could also partner with.

Direct peers

• Degreed: Degreed is a skills development and learning experience platform that maps employee skills, curates learning content, and supports internal mobility. It directly overlaps with Skillsvista's skills profiling, gap analysis, and learning pathway capabilities, serving similar HR and L&D buyers.
• Fuel50: Fuel50 is a career pathing and internal mobility platform that maps employee skills, recommends roles and learning, and supports succession. It targets the same HR/L&D buyer as Skillsvista with overlapping skills matching and talent marketplace features.
• Eightfold AI: Eightfold AI is a talent intelligence platform that uses AI to match people to roles, identify skills gaps, and support succession planning. Its core skills-inference and career pathing functionality is closely comparable to Skillsvista's workforce planning product.

Broad incumbents

• Cornerstone OnDemand: Cornerstone OnDemand provides learning, talent management, and workforce planning software with skills inference and content aggregation features. It competes with Skillsvista for the same L&D and HR buyer, particularly in the mid-market and enterprise tiers.
• SAP SuccessFactors: SAP SuccessFactors is a global HCM suite offering learning, performance, succession, and workforce planning. It overlaps with Skillsvista's broader talent lifecycle scope and serves many of the same large-enterprise customers that Skillsvista's 'Large Employers' segment targets.
• LinkedIn Learning: LinkedIn Learning combines a large course catalogue with skills tagging and integration into LinkedIn's professional network. It is comparable to Skillsvista's training library and career pathing features, and benefits from LinkedIn's data on jobs and skills.
• Workday: Workday is a leading HCM and workforce planning suite that increasingly embeds skills, learning, and talent marketplace functionality into its core platform. It is a much broader incumbent whose workforce planning capabilities overlap with Skillsvista's, and it competes for the same enterprise budget.
