The New Career Conversation: Empowering Managers With the Right Tools
Something big is stirring in the workplace … but it’s not moving fast enough.
Why Job Descriptions Are the Missing Link in Skills-Based Career Paths
Career path confusion isn't just a minor issue, it's a significant organizational challenge.
When job design, skills, and growth come together
How leading organizations turn job architecture and skills into measurable progress.
What impressed me most is the depth. It’s not just a checklist of features — there’s a real understanding of how organizations evolve, the system is adaptable to the needs of the company, how skills shift, and how people learn and grow in their careers.
VP of Total Rewards, Go Health
I’ve followed Career Bird’s evolution from the start, and it’s clear this platform was built by people who truly understand how organizations and talent grow. What stands out most is how Career Bird makes skills the common language across job design, learning, and mobility. It connects the dots in a way that feels both strategic and practical, something HR teams can actually use and scale.
EVP of People & Culture, Kiva
Career Bird connects the dots between job design, skills, learning, and mobility. Instead of separate systems and spreadsheets, we now have a single platform that ties everything together.
VP Talent Strategy & People Experience, Unite Us
Career Bird was selected to participate in the competitive PeopleTech Partners Growth Program as they are building meaningful solutions for Talent and People Leaders aligned with what's next in work.
Founding Partner, People Tech Partners
Career Bird helps companies prepare for the future by turning skills data into human growth, organizational agility, and real impact.
Former Chief Strategist and Growth Officer at Publicis Groupe and author of Rethinking Work
So many platforms claim to be skills-focused, but Career Bird is actually built that way. It treats skills as the foundation for job design, learning, and career paths. That matters right now because AI is rewriting roles faster than most companies can respond. Leaders need a way to see what skills they have, what skills they’re losing, and how to upskill or redeploy people in real time.
VP, Head of People, Multiple tech companies
You can tell Career Bird wasn’t just thrown together by software engineers. It’s clear that IO psychologists and HR leaders played a significant role in developing it — the frameworks are thoughtful, practical, and grounded in science.
Chief People Officer, Envoy Global
Career Bird is one of the few HR platforms that feels like it was built for the end-user. Teams won’t need a lengthy rollout or training — it’s intuitive, clear, and something managers and employees actually want to use.
