Skillvue

Skillvue is an AI-native skills assessment platform that enables organizations to adopt a skills-based approach across the HR lifecycle, from recruitment to internal mobility and talent development. Founded in 2021 in Milan, Italy by Nicolò Mazzocchi and Simone Patera, the platform uses 'Skills Assessment Agents' to conduct standardized, scalable evaluations that analyze hard skills, soft skills, digital skills, and motivation to support objective, bias-free hiring and talent management decisions. The platform provides interactive, context-aware assessment agents that support multi-modal interviewing through text (WhatsApp-style), audio, and video formats. These agents enable structured data generation for objective HR decision-making, replacing or augmenting traditional CV-based screening with skills-first evaluation. Skillvue offers a library of 120+ ready-to-use tests covering technical skills, soft skills, languages, and other competency domains, with assessments positioned as quick and easy (15-minute duration for talent acquisition use cases). For talent acquisition specifically, Skillvue enables pre-screening at scale for high-volume pipelines, helping recruiting teams make faster and more consistent decisions than CV review alone. The platform supports complete candidate experience customization including colors, photos/videos, and interaction modes to align with employer branding. The assessment experience can be delivered via multiple channels including audio, video, and WhatsApp to reach diverse candidate audiences. Beyond recruitment, Skillvue addresses the full talent management lifecycle including performance management (skills and motivation integration into reviews), learning & development (feedback mechanisms for growth, skills gap identification), and internal mobility mapping (identifying hidden talent and bridging skills gaps within existing workforce). The platform provides both individual and aggregate insights, supporting a shared company skills database that enables strategic talent decisions. Skillvue's psychometric validation is supported by a dedicated research team led by PhD-level AI researchers, ensuring scientific rigor in soft skill assessment. The platform has demonstrated strong growth with 8x ARR increase in 2024 and is used by verified enterprise clients including Carrefour, Unipol, and Randstad (ecosystem partner). The company is operated by Algo Job s.r.l. with headquarters at Molino delle Armi 11, 20123 Milan, Italy, employing 20-30 people (targeting 30 by end of 2025). Skillvue has raised $9.5M in total funding including a $375k Angel round (July 2021), $2.8M Pre-Seed led by Italian Founders Fund (IFF) and 14Peaks Capital (September 2024), and $6.3M Seed led by 360 Capital (May 2025), with additional investors including Orbita Verticale, Kfund, and Ithaca 3. The recent seed funding was announced in May 2025 (€5.5M) to enable companies to adopt skills-based approaches across European markets. The platform is designed to integrate with existing ATS, LMS, and HCM software upon request, complementing rather than replacing core HR systems. While specific named integrations are limited in public documentation, the platform supports enterprise-grade security and privacy with ISO 27001 compliance and GDPR compliance (as required for EU operations). Documentation on compliance and certifications is available at https://en.skillvue.ai/certificazioni. Pricing is customized based on hiring volumes, number of candidates/employees assessed, customizations required, and support needs, with no published rate cards. The platform offers a free trial (duration unspecified) accessible through the website. Skillvue is positioned for mid-market to enterprise organizations, particularly in European markets, requiring scalable skills assessment across multiple HR processes.
