Lightcast in 10 – Skills Agent, Talent Transform & Analyst

We’ll answer a live question: which roles to prioritise, where to hire, and how to keep the job architecture current as AI skills shift. Watch Skills Agent auto-map and maintain skills-to-job alignment, use Talent Transform to widen qualified talent pools via skills-based search, and pull market, pay and location evidence in Analyst to create a shareable brief for Finance. We’ll show how AI skills trends inform choices and how outputs integrate via APIs. Latest updates informing this demo include Skills Agent, Talent Transform workflows, Analyst for planning, the AI Skills Disruption Matrix, and taxonomy refreshes plus Rhetorik data expansion.
