Key components of solution

• Bring visibility to top skills in demand internally
• Gap analysis to reduce skill-gaps through learning and development
• Match skills to forecasted projects 

When in need of skills, capabilities, and experience we often tend to look for it outside the company as a first option because we don’t have visibility to the existing talent. Hitch (platform) provides insight to all of our talents, which we are able to dynamically mobilize to solve our toughest challenges.
