Soaring into 2025 with an exciting investment from the DoD Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office and continued support from the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and all of our partners across DoD. The GigEagle team is grateful for the incredible progress we made in 2024 and looks forward to making big moves in the coming year. Here's to optimizing talent for national security through precision, agility, and speed. Happy New Year!

🚀 Moving up and out 🚀 As part of the new AI Rapid Capabilities Cell, GigEagle is partnering with the DoD Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office and Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to accelerate and scale agile talent across the United States Department of Defense.

GigEagle Director Mike McGinley sat down with Defense & Aerospace Report to talk about putting America's best talent to use for national security. A U.S. Air Force Reserve member who is a logistician by military specialty code but has private sector expertise in hypersonics? Bingo. GigEagle is using precision talent sourcing algorithms to optimize talent for Great Power Competition. #defenseinnovation #talentoptimization #futureofwork John Healy Chuck Kubik Beth Kelley Horine Davis Winkie Meredith Kirchoff Sheila Jensen Wilds Amy Pekala

🚀 Pushing limits and thinking big! Air & Space Forces Magazine's David Roza writes on GigEagle's impact in #DoD today and its vision for whole-of-nation collaboration. "At a time where very few Americans know someone in uniform, the app may also help bridge the civilian-military divide by giving civilians with important skills a chance to serve that was not possible before. 'On a strategic level, that means when you make policy changes, you now have a more educated, engaged population,” the general said. “Those people in academia or industry who come in and provide support feel like they are a member of the team. It is not ‘us and them,’ it is ‘we,’ so we win great power competition together.'" Mike McGinley Beth Kelley Horine Chuck Kubik Jeff G.

Come visit the GigEagle team alongside our partners at the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), NSIN - National Security Innovation Network, and AFWERX on "Spark Street" in the Maryland Exhibit Hall. GigEagle is delivering "Agile Talent for the 6th-Gen Fight" in the United States Department of the Air Force by connecting exquisite talent with tough problem sets at speed. #AFA24 #ASC24 #SparkStreet #GigEagle #TalentAgility Mike McGinley Beth Kelley Horine Chuck Kubik Meredith Kirchoff

GigEagle's own Mike McGinley and Jim Perkins write on the strategic imperative of talent agility in the United States Department of Defense for War on the Rocks. “Unless the U.S. military’s talent management system becomes exponentially more agile, America will struggle to win wars. The speed at which the nature of modern warfare is evolving necessitates that the U.S. military remove the friction between services and components of the total force so that the department can identify and employ the right talent at the right place at the right time." “The U.S. military should embrace a truly permeable and agile talent ecosystem that recognizes servicemembers as so much more than occupational and skill codes that are five to 15 years behind society." “The department should develop policies promoting an enterprise talent architecture that unlocks the data scattered in silos across the department, clarify funding mechanisms that can penetrate service silos, and cut the red tape that often keeps reservists out of the fight.” The Agile Talent Ecosystem powered by the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU)'s #AI-enabled platform GigEagle is driving talent optimization in the DoD and beyond. #talentagility #talentfluidity #gigeconomy #futureofwork Beth Kelley Horine Chuck Kubik Meredith Kirchoff Craig Robbins Davis Winkie

The launch of an #AI-powered platform for uncovering and matching talent across the joint force is an important step in tackling what Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Air Force Gen. CQ Brown, Jr., has described as the current "war for talent."  Showcasing what is possible for the future of defense work is precisely what platform users are demonstrating. With a focus across the Services to find ways to drive modernization and recruit and develop top talent, the platform represents a joint capability gap solution. Air Force Reservist Maj. Kaitlin Zimmerman created her GigEagle profile and was matched with a project listed by the DoD Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office to support an on-base Morale, Welfare and Recreation Center initiative. While her military job is a program manager in the Space System Command's reserve strike team, she was tapped for her civilian career skills as a principal data scientist at Amazon Web Services to help predict MWR program office staffing levels. The GigEagle platform has enterprise-wide use case potential to include supporting the active-duty component, civilian service matching, and even military spouses.  The platform is one of the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) transformational projects.
