Major tech companies are engaging in an intense talent war, with firms like Meta offering $100 million bonuses to attract top researchers. The competition for AI expertise is heightening, coinciding with layoffs and recruitment strategies including massive pay packages. HelloSky positions itself uniquely by utilizing AI to identify diverse talent beyond traditional networks. The platform aggregates comprehensive data to allow companies to discover candidates with unconventional backgrounds, expanding the talent pool essential for driving innovation in AI development. Alex Bates advocates for recognizing talent that may come through alternate pathways.
"There's different biases and filters about people's pedigree or where they came from. But if you could truly map all of that and just give credit for some people that maybe went through alternate pathways [then you can] truly stack rank," Alex Bates, founder and CEO of AI executive recruiting platform HelloSky, told Fortune.
As AI becomes more ubiquitous, the need for the top-tier talent at tech firms becomes even more important-and it's starting a war among Big Tech, which is simultaneously churning through layoffs and poaching people from each other with eye-popping pay packages.
Meta, for example, is dishing out $100 million signing bonuses to woo top OpenAI researchers. Others are scrambling to retain staff with massive bonuses and noncompete agreements.
That's why Bates developed HelloSky, which consolidates candidate, company, talent, investor, and assessment data into a single GenAI-powered platform to help companies find candidates they might not have otherwise.
