Eightfold reads your resume. Navii hears your story.
Eightfold and Navii both use AI to improve hiring, but from opposite starting points. Eightfold is a talent intelligence platform that ingests resumes and predicts fit algorithmically. Navii is a professional agent network that starts with voice conversations and surfaces alignment through real understanding.
Navii's approach
Navii starts with a 30-minute voice conversation. It understands not just what you've done, but how you think, what you value, and what kind of environment makes you thrive. This creates an agent that represents the whole person — not a parsed resume.
Eightfold AI's approach
Eightfold ingests resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and internal HR data to build talent graphs. It uses AI to predict job fit, identify internal mobility opportunities, and recommend candidates based on skills taxonomy and career trajectory patterns.
