Artificial Intelligence-powered talent intelligence platform Eightfold AI on Thursday announced that it has raised $220 million in its Series E funding round led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2.

The company has raised more than $410 million to date, with $350 million coming in the last six months.

Eightfold AI said that the funds will be used to continue the rapid growth and development of its talent intelligence platform and expand its growing partner ecosystem.

“At Eightfold, we have an unprecedented opportunity, using AI to align the career goals of individuals while simultaneously creating better results for employers,” Garg added.

Additionally, Eightfold AI will use the funds to continue expanding its India operations, investing in the most talented data scientists and engineers in the region.
