Visier and JobKred announced a strategic partnership that aims to help organizations in the Asia Pacific meet the challenge of closing widening skills gaps and prepare their workforce for accelerating AI adoption. Announced in Vancouver, the collaboration brings together Visier’s workforce analytics capabilities with JobKred’s verified skills intelligence platform to arm leaders with a deeper, more data-driven grasp of their talent needs.
As organizations face ongoing talent shortages and increasing workforce retirement pressures, many are shifting toward a model of skills-based operation. The new joint solution will allow companies to map current capabilities, identify gaps in those capabilities, and align upskilling initiatives with measurable business outcomes.
“Building a skills-based organization is the single most important competitive differentiator in today’s market, and it all starts with data-driven clarity,” said Lee Boon Huat, SVP, Growth & Strategy, Visier APAC. “Our partnership with JobKred is a direct response to demand in APAC for solutions that bridge people analytics and career growth. By combining Visier’s actionable insights with JobKred’s skills data, we empower leaders to cultivate a truly adaptable workforce.”

This integrated offering lets HR and business leaders identify the critical skill gaps of the organization, personalize employee development journeys, and clearly quantify the return on workforce transformation programs. By linking learning initiatives directly to organizational goals, companies can improve talent retention, optimize investment in L&D, and build a more resilient talent pipeline.
JobKred thinks it is a turning point for the region. “Asia Pacific is at a pivotal moment. Organisations know they need to move to skills-based models but often don’t have the data and tools to make it happen,” said Gary Gan, CEO and Co-Founder of JobKred. “This partnership between JobKred and Visier gives organizations in the region the end-to-end capabilities to make workforce transformation real, measurable, and scalable.”
Specifically, the companies want to enable APAC organizations to create workforces that are AI-ready and future-proof, based on verifiable skills intelligence.
