The platform · Workforce Intelligence
The Workforce Intelligence platform for making better talent decisions.
From the job opening to development, performance and the decision, all in one place.
Escal8 turns your talent data into actionable decisions with AI. You get the visibility to decide who to hire, how to develop your people and what to automate. ATS, learning, assessments, OKRs and daily management live in a single platform, and above it all sits the 8MAP, crossing the eight dimensions and turning every module into an evidence-backed decision.
Before the modules
Turn talent data into decisions, not reports.
This is what you get with Escal8:
Talent decisions backed by evidence, not perception.
A single source of truth about your people, connected end to end.
Conversational AI your team adopts without friction.
From diagnosis to an action plan that's ready to execute.
Product map
Six modules, one system
This is what your team, People, and leadership find inside.
Present at every stage
A modular suite, with 8MAP at the center
The talent X-ray of every person
A complete view on one screen. 8MAP pulls together data from across the platform and evaluates each employee on 8 dimensions (skills, performance, potential, risk, automation and more) crossed into a single profile.
You know how to invest in each person. It shows who can grow, where there's potential you're not seeing today, and where your biggest risk is if someone key leaves: concentrated knowledge, little documentation, critical roles.
Tailored development plans. Every 8MAP comes with concrete recommendations for the manager and for HR, not data someone has to interpret alone.
Learning paths that close real gaps
Everyone knows what to learn, and can actually do it. Kova recommends paths and courses based on each employee's real gaps, focused on the skills that move business results. HR can also curate its own content.
Certifications at no extra cost. Access certifications that usually carry a separate cost and develop your team without increasing the budget.
Growth is more than taking courses. The plan includes concrete actions (leading projects, getting feedback, taking on responsibilities) to build the skills that drive results.
More than one source for the decisions that matter
Quality feedback without a hundred forms. Kova gathers feedback from peers, managers and reports through conversation, so the hard decisions don't arrive as a surprise in December.
Promotions that work. The 9box crosses 360, OKRs and skills to show you who's truly ready, before you make promotion and succession calls with incomplete information.
Clear succession for your best talent. Identify who can cover key roles before the vacancy exists. Less external hiring, lower turnover cost.
Candidates with the best fit for the role
Fewer candidates, better fit. Kova does the pre-screening before your recruiter spends an hour; by the time they step in, they already know who to talk to.
Measured against the role. Each candidate is measured against the role's real competencies, with objective criteria and against the position's ESCO skills.
The job posting is already optimized. AI helps you write a description that attracts the profile you're looking for.
A better experience from day one
Frictionless onboarding. A clear path that speeds up ramp-up and reduces time-to-value. Define stages, courses and documents once; rules give each area the onboarding it needs, automatically.
Compliance that doesn't get lost in email. Mandatory courses and documents to sign within the same flow. HR sees in real time who's up to date.
Everything in one guided checklist. Documents, signatures, welcome kit and courses from day one, with less confusion and more productivity.
Automation potential, person by person
Your team knows what's automatable. Each person describes their role in conversation, and the map updates with every cycle. It's not a one-off consulting project.
Bring numbers to the efficiency conversation. Quantify the impact in hours, costs and productivity to prioritize the highest-return automations, in the language the CEO and CFO understand.
From diagnosis to execution. You get preliminary process documentation before talking to any vendor: less time, faster measurable results.
