ABOUT US

What does it mean to work with us or for us?

Our story

Hi, I’m Alison Ettridge, founder and creator of Stratigens. Our story is one of a great team of people who came from big company backgrounds to establish a tech-start up in Cardiff in 2018, and who are now part of Lightcast. Lightcast is a provider of trusted global labor market data, analytics, and expert guidance; whilst Stratigens’ industry-leading team in data science and profiles data, offers customers an enriched understanding of the available talent supply in different markets. Combined, Lightcast has solidified its position as the most trusted source for comprehensive global labor market data.

 

Founded in 2017 by Alison Ettridge, Stratigens’ team of data scientists compile insights and search analytics that help companies solve business challenges, including: identifying new skill pools; attracting and growing skillsets; understanding where to grow, relocate, or consolidate and retain talent; and supporting mergers and acquisitions. Since 2022, Stratigens has been leveraging its proprietary algorithms, combined with Lightcast’s labor market data, to help companies like Stryker and EY make informed decisions about skills demand, talent, and locations to optimize their growth strategies.
