Workforce intelligence platform Reejig has been recognized by the World Economic Forum as a 2022 Technology Pioneer for its work in helping global enterprises and governments find, move and upskill their workforces using the world’s first independently audited Ethical Talent AI. The World Economic Forum recognizes early-to-growth-stage companies from around the world that are leveraging new technologies and innovations that are poised to have a significant impact on business and society. The World Economic Forum has previously recognized transformational growth stage organizations including Airbnb, Google, Kickstarter, Twitter, Bloom Energy, Proteus Digital Health and Spotify.
Reejig’s mission is to create a world with Zero Wasted Potential in people, business and society. A world where people are enabled to access personally meaningful work, no matter their background or circumstance. Where every business can reach new heights financially and culturally as we unlock skills and potential in our people, and society can reap the benefits of diverse thought leadership and fair and equitable opportunity in the working world.
Working towards a world of Zero Wasted Potential is working towards linking people with work opportunities that match with their interest-aligned skills and capabilities, whilst reducing barriers that stand in their way. Reejig is tackling this challenge head on, leveraging innovation in both Ethical Talent AI and skills intelligence to help global organizations reduce external barriers around biases and inaccessibility and drive towards Zero Wasted Potential.
