What it is
Gloat is the talent marketplace platform that pioneered the AI-augmented internal mobility category — matching employees against internal opportunities (full-time roles, gigs, projects, mentorships) using a skills graph derived from each employee’s work history, system activity, and self-reported interests. Notable enterprise deployments at Unilever, Schneider Electric, and Mastercard helped establish the talent-marketplace category as a real enterprise capability.
Why it shows up in Recruiting stacks
- Internal mobility infrastructure that works at scale. Most enterprises talk about internal mobility; Gloat operationalizes it with a platform that surfaces real opportunities to real employees with real skills matching.
- Skills graph as the data substrate. The platform’s value compounds with usage — every project assignment, every role move, every learning completion enriches the skills graph for future matching.
- Beyond internal mobility into workforce agility. Project-based work, gig assignments, internal consulting roles all flow through the same platform — supports flexible-workforce models that pure HR/recruiting tools don’t.
Pricing
- Custom only. Per-employee pricing typical; effective entry point in the high-five figures annually for mid-market scaling into seven figures for global enterprise.
- Volume tiers for the largest enterprise deployments.
- Implementation typically 6-12 months for enterprise rollouts.
Best for
- Global Fortune 500 enterprises pursuing internal-mobility-first hiring strategies
- Companies with strategic emphasis on workforce agility (project-based work, gig assignments, internal moves)
- Organizations where talent retention and career-development are board-level priorities
Watch-outs
- Heavyweight to deploy — meaningful change-management and skills-data work required for the platform to deliver value
- Skills graph quality depends on adoption — if employees don’t engage with skill-self-reporting and project-tagging, the matching degrades
- Compete with Eightfold Talent Intelligence and Beamery Mobility on the same enterprise buyer profile — choice depends on existing HR-tech ecosystem and specific use-case fit
- For mid-market companies (under 5,000 employees), simpler internal-job-posting approaches in the existing ATS typically suffice
