On-site Usable AI Career Advisor Realized by Big Data Utilization x AI Agent

In recent years, many companies have positioned "self-directed career development" as an important HR strategy.

However, challenges exist, such as a lack of means for employees to learn about their career possibilities, the formalization of self-reporting systems, and the inconsistency of career consultations left to individual managers.

Furthermore, traditional HR databases have not fully utilized time-series data, leading to abstract outputs that are difficult to translate into concrete behavioral changes.

This feature allows employees to freely discuss their future careers on Talent Palette, not only presenting career possibilities but also clarifying the basis for them and the gaps for realization, and providing consistent support from implementing training to fill these gaps to suggesting role model employees.

This makes it easier to understand the experience and skills required for desired careers, fosters self-directed learning motivation, and is expected to revitalize internal communication through interviews with role model employees.

By combining the design philosophy of time-series data utilization cultivated in the marketing domain with AI agents, Talent Palette realizes career support that enables each employee to make self-directed decisions.
