Data science and machine learning have transformed almost every aspect of business—except workforce strategy. Our founders discovered that comprehensive “people and places” data about talent, cost, and competition in different markets isn’t easy to find. Analytics and algorithms to help HR leaders find relevant trends aren’t exactly common either.
That’s why we founded Terrain. Our platform applies rigorous analytics to extensive real-time data to help companies find the best-value markets and people to build a diverse, talented workforce and support sustainable growth.
“I’ve always believed that talent is the most important asset to every business. With today’s talent pool being more liquid than ever before and data being highly fragmented and siloed, I wanted to build a modern system that creates an information advantage, delivering critical business insights from talent insights to change the way leaders analyze markets, hire the best talent, and manage risk more effectively.”
