Skillvue Raises $6.3M to Unlock Talent with Skills Assessment Agents

Skillvue, the HR-tech company that turns job titles into data-rich skills maps, has secured a $6.3 million seed round led by 360 Capital with follow-on participation from Italian Founders Fund and 14Peaks Capital, alongside Orbita Verticale. The new funding brings Skillvue’s total raised to $9.5 million and accelerates its transition from a recruitment tool to a full-stack skills platform that helps organisations discover, quantify and develop talent already inside their walls.

Most HR leaders list “finding people with the right skills” as their top concern for 2025, yet research indicates only one in three companies can identify the expertise they already employ. Skillvue’s AI Assessment Agents dismantle traditional job descriptions into granular, science-backed skills, benchmark them against market demand and feed the insights into recruiting, upskilling and internal mobility processes. The result is faster hiring, smarter talent deployment and lower reskilling costs.

Since its pre-seed round in 2024, Skillvue has multiplied annual recurring revenue eight-fold, expanded its customer base in retail, banking and insurance, and is doubling headcount to 30 across Italy, Germany and Canada. Recent organisational upgrades include a dedicated Psychometrics team led by AI researcher Dr Tony Lee, a Customer Success unit staffed by People Scientists, and separate AI and Engineering divisions to speed both research and product delivery.

“We built Skillvue to end talent blind spots,” said Nicolò Mazzocchi, CEO and co-founder. “Our Skills Assessment Agents make every employee’s capability visible, valued and deployable while giving candidates a faster, fairer evaluation experience. This round lets us scale the platform so skills—not titles—drive workforce performance worldwide.”

“Titles are relics; skills are the future’s currency,” added Lucrezia Lucotti, Partner at 360 Capital. “Skillvue is setting the operating standard for a skills-first workforce, and we’re excited to back the team as they expand internationally.”

The company will use the capital to deepen its AI models, enhance user experience during assessments and expand sales across Europe and North America. With half of Italian HR leaders planning to increase AI adoption in 2025—and 80 percent focused on process automation—Skillvue is positioned to become the default operating system for skills-based talent management.
