About Squirro
Data is the world’s most valuable resource, but 99% of all data collected is never used. This data is siloed in different internal and external systems, often in unstructured (textual) form and fast changing.
To unlock the power of your data, you need to enable your employees, and especially business users. Squirro does that with its Augmented Intelligence applications.
A note to agencies: We do not work with agencies & recruiters, unless explicitly stated. Non solicited resumes sent by agencies & recruiters will be considered direct applications and no referral fee will be paid.
