CXOToday has engaged in an exclusive interview with Saurabh Jain, Founder & CEO, Spire.AI
- What strategic advantages do Large Graph Models offer over traditional AI and machine learning methods in talent solutions?
Large Graph Models (LGMs) provide a transformative edge over traditional AI and machine learning methods by enabling a more nuanced understanding of complex relationships between skills, roles, and career paths. Unlike conventional AI models that often analyze data in silos, LGMs can map intricate connections across vast datasets, allowing for a holistic view of talent ecosystems, identifying key influencers, potential knowledge gaps, and growth opportunities. This capability is particularly valuable in today’s dynamic job market, where skill sets are increasingly multi-dimensional. For instance, Spire.AI’s LGM-based platform currently has over 10 million skill nodes across 26 industry domains, offering unprecedented insights into how various skills interact within specific roles and industries, making solutions domain-conscious and intelligent.
Moreover, LGMs support the continuous evolution of skill frameworks, automatically adapting to new industry trends and organizational needs. This reduces the reliance on manual updates and ensures that talent management strategies remain aligned with the latest market demands. Additionally, by leveraging LGMs, organizations can increase internal mobility by fulfilling up to 56% of open demands via internal talent mobilization, as demonstrated by our implementation with a global communications leader. Furthermore, after implementing Spire.AI’s LGM-powered solutions, 87% of employee skill data is updated, complete, and live for the global client. This provides organizations with a robust and current overview of their workforce capabilities.
- What unique features or technologies does Spire.AI offer that set it apart from other hiring solutions in the market?
Spire.AI is revolutionizing talent management by offering a comprehensive suite of features beyond traditional hiring solutions. Central to this innovation is our Skills AI Copilot, which drives an Auto-Evolving Role-Skill Framework powered by a Large Graph Model (LGM) with over 10 million skill nodes. This framework is designed to automatically identify and evolve complex skill combinations majorly for all roles, ensuring that organizations maintain a dynamic, scalable skills inventory that adapts seamlessly to changing business needs. This serves as a single source of truth for skills and roles data, making it easier for organizations to deploy across talent systems and processes.

Our AI-driven Talent Marketplace further enhances internal mobility by providing a transparent, unbiased platform where employees can explore new organizational roles. This has significantly increased internal mobility rates, with some clients experiencing a jump from 21% to 56% in just eight weeks. Spire.AI helps organizations fill open positions more efficiently by prioritizing internal talent movement while boosting employee engagement and retention.
Our Talent Acquisition module remains a powerful component—offering a match-to-offer ratio of 35% and reducing cost per hire by up to 70%. Spire.AI’s true strength lies in its ability to transform how organizations manage, deploy, and develop future-ready talent.

- How does Spire.AI adapt to the specific needs and requirements of Indian companies across different industries?
Spire.AI is uniquely positioned to cater to the diverse needs of Indian companies across various industries by leveraging our adaptive and domain-intelligent Generative Skills AI platform. One of the most significant challenges faced by recruiters in India is the sheer volume of resumes received for each job opening, far surpassing the numbers typically seen in Western markets.

Our platform addresses this challenge by utilizing the world’s first Large Graph Model (LGM) for skills, enabling an auto-evolving role-skill framework. This framework is designed to handle the complexities of high-volume recruitment, automatically contextualizing the demand and supply of skills by understanding skill relationships, adjacencies, recency, and proficiency. Our hiring solution caters to 75% to 82% of all talent demands on any given day, surpassing the industry average of 20-25%. This is particularly critical in the Indian context, where talent competition is fierce, and the ability to rapidly and accurately match candidates to roles can be a significant competitive advantage.
Spire.AI’s mobile AI Copilot empowers employees by automatically generating comprehensive skill profiles and offering AI-driven career path recommendations. It proactively identifies skill gaps and provides hyper-personalized learning suggestions to upskill, reskill, and grow, whether laterally or vertically, based on their aspirations and the immediate growth opportunities within the company.

Along with employee development, Spire.AI also enhances talent acquisition with the world’s first mobile AI Copilot for recruitment.

Spire.AI’s AI-driven insights into job market trends and skill gaps are particularly valuable for Indian companies looking to stay competitive in a global market.
- What future trends do you foresee in using AI for talent management, and how can organizations prepare for them?
The future of AI in talent management will be defined by increased personalization, which includes tailored learning paths to customized career development plans, automation, and the strategic use of data to drive decision-making. Organizations must adopt AI-driven platforms that dynamically map skills to roles and provide hyper-personalized development pathways for employees.
Another emerging trend is using AI to enhance internal mobility and career progression within organizations. As the job market becomes more fluid, companies must adopt tools that create transparent, unbiased, and ethical AI-driven Talent Marketplaces that empower employees to explore new opportunities and develop their careers internally. This approach not only enhances retention but also reduces hiring costs. One key trend is the shift towards talent development in addition to skills-based hiring, which focuses on identifying and nurturing specific skill sets rather than relying solely on traditional qualifications.
Additionally, integrating AI with other emerging technologies, such as blockchain for credential verification or augmented reality for training, will further revolutionize talent management. To prepare, organizations should invest in adaptable, scalable AI platforms that can integrate with these technologies. By staying ahead of these trends, businesses can remain competitive and well-positioned to attract, retain, and develop the best talent.
