Caliko is a skills inventory and gap analysis platform built for mid-market companies.
AI is rewriting jobs faster than HR systems can track them. When roles change, leaders are forced to make decisions blind: a reorg that moves the wrong people, a role left open for six months, a reskilling budget that produces no measurable change.
An HRIS holds records, not skills. Most companies answer skills questions with stale spreadsheets and manager guesswork, and only find out they were wrong after the cost lands.
Caliko reads resumes, job descriptions, and performance conversations to build a skills profile for every employee.
Each person is mapped to their role. A promotion without the underlying skills shows up as a clear development target, not a problem found later.
A dashboard shows the team's skills and gaps. Managers adjust and approve what the data shows.
An organization-wide view of skills, gaps, and an internal marketplace of who can move where.
Enterprise skills platforms are built for companies that already have clean job architecture and a populated skills database. Almost no mid-market company does.
Caliko generates that data from scratch, starting with the employee. That is why it works at 1,200 employees, not only at 40,000.
Caliko specializes in organizations of roughly 1,000 to 5,000 employees. Large enough that skills blindness carries real cost. Small enough that a six-figure enterprise platform is the wrong tool.
Caliko sits in the space between spreadsheets and enterprise platforms.
Employees see their skills, their gaps, and the paths the data opens up.
Managers see what their team can do, with the ability to review and approve.
Leadership sees organization-wide skills and mobility, live, not in a quarterly slide.
A skills inventory is a current record of the skills your workforce holds. Caliko builds one automatically from employee work history and real projects, then keeps it current.
Caliko maps every employee to their role and compares the skills they have to the skills the role needs. The gaps surface as clear development targets.
Internal mobility software helps companies fill roles and projects with people they already employ. Caliko shows leadership who can move where, based on live skills data.
An HRIS holds employee records. It does not show what your people can actually do. Caliko builds the skills layer your HRIS was never designed to produce.
Yes, and it takes one click. Once Caliko has mapped an employee's skills against their role, the manager sees exactly where the gaps are. From there, one button turns those gaps into a development plan. No blank page, no guesswork. Caliko does the analysis so managers can spend their time coaching, not building documents. When development planning is this simple, managers actually do it, which is how skills data stays current and useful.
Caliko is built for organizations of roughly 1,000 to 5,000 employees. Large enough that skills blindness carries real cost. Small enough that a six-figure enterprise platform is the wrong tool.
