Lightcast will add Stratigens’ industry-leading team in data science and profiles data, offering customers an enriched understanding of the available talent supply in different markets. With the acquisition of Stratigens, Lightcast further solidifies its position as a key source for comprehensive global labour market data.

Founded in 2017 by Alison Ettridge, Stratigens’ team of data scientists compile insights and search analytics that help companies solve business challenges, including: identifying new skill pools; attracting and growing skillsets; understanding where to grow, relocate or consolidate and retain talent; and supporting mergers & acquisitions. 

Since 2022, Stratigens has been leveraging its proprietary algorithms, combined with Lightcast’s labour market data, to help companies like Stryker and EY make informed decisions about skills demand, talent and locations to optimise their growth strategies.

Ettridge will join Lightcast as director of global talent intelligence. In February, Lightcast announced an expansion of its global labour data to help business and talent leaders make better skills-based decisions regardless of geographies, languages or job taxonomies.
