Case Study: Salesforce embraces skills-based transformation with Beamery's AI platform
Key results
The challenge
Salesforce wanted to move to a skills-based hiring model and present a globally consistent method for internal and external recruitment teams to engage early-stage talent across early career, professional, and leadership hiring. Managing a large talent community and surfacing the right internal and external candidates by skill was central to the effort.
The solution
Salesforce adopted Beamery's AI platform to use skills as the common currency for hiring, engage a talent community of over 4 million contacts, and resurface candidates with strong skills matches. Adoption of Beamery's AI features tripled over a six-month period as teams standardized on the skills-based approach.
“Using skills as that currency allows you to hire faster; and hire better, because you're looking at the skill, not necessarily the individual or the jobs that they had before.”

The results, in context
Salesforce reported a 5x higher conversion rate for Beamery-attributable candidates versus other sources, and that resurfaced hires with a strong skills match were 270% more likely to receive an offer than candidates from all other sources. It also reported 6x higher productivity and efficiency gains from people using Beamery and an 11-day reduction in time to hire.
