Aura Simplifies Workforce Insights: Solving Three Key Challenges

Stakeholders often lack visibility into a company's workforce performance due to a broken pipeline from data to actionable insights. This is primarily caused by three major failures:

Inconsistent data: Workforce attributes such as titles and skills vary greatly across companies and sectors, making accurate comparisons difficult. For instance, a Sales Account Executive in one company might be referred to as a Customer Success Manager in another.

Lack of automation: Translating workforce data into valuable insights requires time-consuming manual work, resulting in delays between on-the-ground reality and strategic decisions. For example, an HR or workforce benchmarking exercise typically demands a dedicated effort spanning several months.

Absence of standardized metrics: Self-reporting on workforce outcomes, such as diversity and hiring rates, lacks consistency due to varying definitions and assessment approaches across different organizations.

Aura addresses all these challenges with distinct and effective capabilities:

  1. Gather, Synthesize, and Normalize (Data Ingestion and Transformation): Utilizing advanced techniques such as machine learning, Generative AI, and large data models, we aggregate over 18 million professional profiles, 13 million companies, 400 million jobs, and 20 million skills into a comprehensive and usable dataset.
  2. Reporting (Generating Signals): Our platform extracts valuable insights from the dataset and presents them through simple reports in various formats like PPT, PDF, or API. These reports cover focused topics such as Skills Alignment, Staffing Efficiency, Portfolio Management, real-time hires/departures, and an ever-expanding list of subjects.
  3. Expose Data (Crunchbase for Workforce Insights): Aura provides a freemium website that showcases outside-in benchmarks across companies, including peer-to-peer measurements and department comparisons. This allows employees to access information they are interested in regarding potential employers.
