HR Career Navigator delivers an objective, AI-driven, comprehensive analysis of multiple career paths for any HR professional. By analyzing each employee’s experience, education, and identified skills, Career Navigator uses Eightfold AI and The Josh Bersin Company’s 94 distinct HR capabilities to identify best “next roles” and career paths with multiple options. Users can then select a path, see what development is needed, and reach out to people with these preferred new jobs for advice.
Now, existing Josh Bersin Academy members and non-members have 24/7 access to this innovative, AI-driven career planning system. This platform not only offers a customizable personal development tool (with 700+ development resources and 28 certificate programs in The Josh Bersin Academy), but also an integrated social network for mentoring, enabling users to connect with HR professionals who are genuinely invested in supporting career growth. These professionals have experience or skills similar to those Career Navigator users hope to acquire.
The platform uses a natural language portal with visual career paths, learning opportunities, and connections to peers built from Josh Bersin Company’s years of research on all areas of HR. This process aligns with the Josh Bersin Academy for development and leverages real-time new job titles, skills, and career paths through the Eightfold talent intelligence platform.
Users will also benefit from parallel use of The Josh Bersin Company Galileo™ HR genAI-powered information assistant. However, a subscription is entirely optional and not required for first-time Career Navigator users.
How Career Navigator helps HR professionals at all experience levels
You are a seasoned HR leader in talent with aspirations of becoming a Chief HR Officer. The HR Career Navigator will analyze your background and give you several clearly-defined career steps and skills needed to achieve this position. As you select your preferred path, the platform will suggest courses and resources, while connecting you with peers who have volunteered to help you with your development.
You are a senior recruiter and your company is about to downsize, potentially eliminating your role. The HR Career Navigator will look at your experience, skills profile, and job achievements, then suggest three possible career paths for growth. Each path will point to specific new skills needed and show you dozens of individuals in your target role. The HR Career Navigator will then provide access to relevant training programs, videos, and resources to help you advance and give you a tool to connect to people in your target role that are willing to offer help.
You are a new or mid-level HR professional and you want to move into a career in AI, Analytics, or HR Technology. The HR Career Navigator will assess your technical and professional background and outline a series of options to help you advance your skills to move into one of these senior technical roles. The platform will also connect you with peers and mentors to support you on your journey.
Josh Bersin, global industry analyst and CEO of The Josh Bersin Company, said:
“Everywhere I go I meet HR professionals who want to grow their careers and add more value to their organizations. The HR Career Navigator will give these people an always-updated set of guidance, tools, and specific mentors to help them achieve these goals.
Up until now, finding meaningful answers to questions like, ‘How can you take on more responsibility? What skills are you missing, and which organizations or roles will support your long-term growth?’ has largely depended on informal networks, personal research, and possibly a mentor if your company is prepared to pay.
The HR Career Navigator simplifies this process and gives HR professionals access to tens of thousands of peers who can help them with their journey.
While many companies offer strong internal development programs for HR, most do not. The HR Career Navigator, coupled to The Josh Bersin Academy, is a resource for every HR professional to grow, regardless of the opportunities provided by your company.
Ashutosh Garg, Co-CEO and Co-founder of Eightfold AI, added:
“Eightfold has a tremendous history of innovation that we are proud to bring to The Josh Bersin Company and Academy team. Career Navigator is a uniquely powerful offering that is going to help HR professionals across every industry understand and benefit from this breakthrough technology. We expect Career Navigator to establish itself as the go-to career building and L&D planning resource for the entire global HR community.”
