Press Releases

Sep 01, 2020

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Today, Hitch Works, Inc. introduces a new internal talent mobility platform, Hitch™, which transforms the workplace into an inclusive, agile, and adaptive enterprise. Deployed more than three years with large enterprises, Hitch has a proven track record of transforming organizations’ ways of working and driving greater productivity at scale with several global customers, including Allianz Global Investors, Dolby Laboratories, and HERE Technologies. According to Gartner, the Internal Talent Marketplace is expected to become a transformative market segment within the $30.5B Human Capital Management sector.*

Hitch enables companies to visualize hidden skills within their organizations to maximize internal talent, increase enterprise agility and build diverse teams. By using its proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms, Hitch matches the right skills to the right work. Companies using the platform seamlessly build unbiased, cross-functional teams while keeping their workforce upskilled, reskilled, and engaged.

“Hitch provides companies complete visibility into the skills and passions of their employees and matches them to project-based or full-time roles,” said Founder and CEO Kelley Steven-Waiss. “Our Dynamic Teaming capability enables companies to staff mission-critical projects with internal talent and adapt quickly to changing market forces, all while maintaining work continuity and speed.”

Hitch has an experienced bench of business leaders, including its Founder and CEO Kelley Steven-Waiss. With deep expertise as a former CHRO, she has brought together visionary HR practitioners, data scientists, and design experts who built this next-generation platform for the future of work.

“One of the many things I love about Hitch is the transparency – everybody can see every work opportunity, which was not visible before Hitch,” said George Hudgens, VP of People and Work Innovation at Dolby Laboratories. “Workforce planning was a major initiative at Dolby and, Hitch successfully helped catalog our talent and increase career opportunity awareness while improving project transparency across departments, divisions, and continents.”

On September 16, 2020, world-renowned industry analyst, educator, and HR thought leader, Josh Bersin, and Kelley Steven-Waiss will co-lead a webinar: “Rethink Talent Mobility: Designing Talent Operating Models for the New Era.” They will be joined by leaders from HERE Technologies to share how Hitch’s technology is enabling a new talent operating model that’s changing the way the workplace sees its workforce.
