The trusted view of your workforce

The talent you need is already inside your organization.
You just can't find them when you need them.
We're here to change that.

Silhouette gives large organizations a real-time, trusted view of who's inside — living profiles, validated by peers, surfaced from real work — so the right people get to the right projects at the right time, without the endless staffing meetings, the spreadsheets, or the guesswork.

The problem

Hidden talent, wasted time.

5–10+
hours / week

Lost by many directors and senior leaders in staffing meetings, hunting for the right person with the right talent or answers.

5+ years of primary interviews
5–9
hours / week

Lost by knowledge workers chasing down needed information, often having to ask colleagues for help.

McKinsey & Co, 2023
80%
disengagement

Of employees don't feel recognized or fully engaged at work, and often feel lost in departmental silos. The work shows it.

Gallup, 2024

You already have the talent somewhere in your organization. The cost is the time it takes to find them, and the risk of the work landing in the wrong hands while you look.

How we're different

Living profiles. Real work. Real talent.

01

Living profiles, not static records.

Profiles that update themselves from how people actually work. Skills, capacity, and experience surface from real contributions — not reliant on what a manager happens to remember. The view stays current automatically, while people stay in control of what's added and what's shared. A force multiplier for the spreadsheets and staffing managers you already use, not a replacement for them.

02

AI pointed inward, not outward.

The AI that transformed sales — surfacing patterns and expertise from real conversations — has been pointed outward at customers for years. We turn the same machinery inward. Real expertise comes from real work, not from a job description written three years ago. The people quietly solving the hard problems inside your company become findable.

03

Peer-validated, not self-reported.

Skills aren't claimed. They're earned, validated by the colleagues who've actually worked with you. Recognition comes from the people best positioned to give it — and that's the trust layer no one else in your stack builds. You can copy features. You can't copy trust.

How we built it

Trust isn't a feature. It's the foundation.

Touching workforce data means earning the right to do it. We built Silhouette with that responsibility in mind from the first line of code — for the people in the profiles, the leaders relying on them, and the organizations trusting us with the view.

01 — People

Built for people, not aimed at them.

Silhouette is built to elevate the people inside it, not surveil them.

  • Employees own their profiles, end to end
  • Edit, hide, or control what's visible — at any time
  • Validation stays in human hands, never an algorithm's
  • Recognition without ranking
02 — AI

AI that finds talent, not replaces it.

AI surfaces patterns. People decide what to do with them.

  • Your data isn't used to train foundation models
  • Predictions surface humans, not replace them
  • Plain-English explanations for every signal
  • Auditable: see how every skill got there
03 — Architecture

Enterprise-grade trust, by design.

Trust is architecture, not policy.

  • AWS-backed infrastructure, Microsoft-grade security
  • Tenant-isolated data, encrypted at rest
  • Granular permissions and audit trails
  • Native integration with Teams, Zoom, and other workplace tools
