Why we’re building peopleIX:

We have seen how companies struggle with making data-driven people decisions. With first-hand experience in different industries and stages of companies, we have seen a bunch of analytics approaches. However, due to messy data, which is fragmented across many systems (HRIS, ATS, Performance, LMS..), and mostly inexperience with rigorous data crunching in people teams, it is time to build a truly intuitive people analytics platform. With years of experience scaling and transforming businesses as well as running HR & analytics projects, we are now building the people analytics platform we always wanted. With peopleIX, we enable people teams to make data-driven people decision-making.
