Creating a Skills-based Future With Lightcast & Workday

In an era where the only constant in the labor market is change itself, HR's traditional talent management playbook is being rewritten.?

Today, the new integration between Lightcast and Workday is at the forefront of this transformation, offering a direct conduit to the most comprehensive talent intelligence data available today to drive a skills-based future.?

This collaboration isn't just about accessing information—it's about fundamentally changing how employers hire and manage people.

Empowering Talent Leaders with Actionable Insights

At the heart of our Workday-certified integration lies the power for Workday customers to harness comprehensive talent insights from Lightcast more easily.?

This integration enables talent leaders on Workday to access real-time data on over 1,900 occupations, 33,000 skills, and 75,000 job titles worldwide, empowering them to make informed decisions, enhance job profiles, and align talent strategies with precision.

Its complementary approach works with Workday’s existing Skills Cloud (and skill architecture for those that don’t have Skills Cloud enabled) helping talent leaders understand which skills are in demand, how they relate to each other, and how they can shape hiring and talent management strategies.

Strategic Talent Advantages Unleashed

The Lightcast-Workday integration transcends the typical talent management technology partnership. Together, we’re helping to unlock strategic advantages and investments that reshape how organizations approach talent and workforce management.?

“Skills-based approaches offer a material return on investment, but we see many organizations struggling to realize that return because their internal data isn’t benchmarked against the broader market,” said Lightcast CEO Chris Kibarian. “The integration with Workday HCM will help enable organizations to build a 360 degree skills-based talent strategy that is scalable, market-driven, and most importantly, actionable.”

By embedding deep talent insights into everyday HR processes, companies can now proactively identify emerging skill trends, tailor talent acquisition to real-world demands, and cultivate a workforce prepared for future challenges.
