Gloat is a privately held company that created an AI-powered talent marketplace for internal career opportunities. The two-sided platform works to enhance internal mobility by matching employees to more relevant projects, gigs, mentorships, and full-time roles based on their interests, career ambitions, skills, and experiences. Enterprises like Unilever, Schneider Electric, Nestlé, and Mastercard[2] use Gloat's technology to attempt to democratize career development, help with worker agility, and build a more future-ready workforce.
