About OriginalSkills
OriginalSkills is a next-generation HR platform that combines certified psychometrics and AI technology to measure, match and develop talent.
Founded by Professor Giuseppe Sartori (Cognitive Neuroscience, University of Padua) and Demetrio Macheda (HR consultant and academic fellow), the platform is built on over 20 years of scientific research and field application.
Since 2004, we have worked with universities, enterprises and public institutions to create evidence-based talent solutions used across recruiting, assessment, development and performance.
In 2014, these innovations converged into the cloud solution known as OriginalSkills. Today, enhanced by advanced machine learning and generative-AI models, OriginalSkills delivers data-driven talent intelligence at scale.
Our mission is simple:
to empower organisations of any size to take accurate, objective and predictive people decisions, improving performance, development and engagement — with science and AI working together.
Technology
Since 2004, we have been working with WebRatio Srl, originally a Spin-Off of the Politecnico di Milano, to develop cutting-edge technological solutions. Thanks to this partnership, we continue to grow and evolve, integrating recruitment, evaluation, and human resource management processes into a single system, ensuring reliable, innovative, fast, and cost-effective solutions. Our future commitment is to the application of proprietary Artificial Intelligence models to make competence management increasingly effective and automated.
