PerceivIQ is partnering with workforce intelligence provider Revelio Labs to bring large-scale labor market data to workforce development boards, economic development organizations, chambers of commerce and community colleges. The deal gives PerceivIQ access to Revelio Labs’ datasets covering more than 1.1 billion professional profiles, 5 billion job postings and 30 million companies across 195 countries, with the goal of helping civic organizations make more timely decisions about training, hiring demand and regional economic development.
Workforce development organizations have access to more labor data than ever, but turning that information into decisions remains a technology problem. PerceivIQ is attempting to close that gap through a new partnership with Revelio Labs, combining a decision-intelligence platform designed for civic organizations with one of the larger commercial workforce datasets available today.
Under the partnership, Revelio Labs’ workforce intelligence will power PerceivIQ’s product suite. The data covers more than 1.1 billion professional profiles, 5 billion job postings and 30 million mapped companies across 195 countries. Revelio Labs says its workforce datasets are updated regularly and can track headcount, hiring, attrition, job demand, skills, compensation and employee movement.
The immediate audience is not traditional enterprise HR. PerceivIQ is targeting Workforce Development Boards, Economic Development Organizations, regional chambers, trade associations and community colleges that need labor market intelligence to decide which training programs to fund, which industries to prioritize and where employer demand is changing.
That distinction is important. Enterprise workforce analytics has become a mature technology category, with platforms used for talent acquisition, workforce planning and compensation benchmarking. Civic organizations, however, often work with tighter budgets and different reporting requirements. Their decisions can affect entire regional labor markets rather than a single company’s workforce.
PerceivIQ’s platform is designed around those use cases. According to the companies, users can analyze the size of a local labor market, monitor employer growth or contraction, establish wage benchmarks for training investments, evaluate career pathways against labor market outcomes and measure program results for funders and administrators.
The partnership also comes as labor market data becomes more important to workforce strategy. Gartner reported in February that only 31% of recruiting functions were using labor market data to shape business and talent strategies, despite rapid changes in skills requirements. The finding points to a broader challenge: organizations may have access to workforce data but still lack the infrastructure and processes needed to turn it into decisions.
For civic organizations, the stakes can be particularly high. A training program built around outdated demand signals can steer public or grant funding toward occupations that are no longer growing. Conversely, identifying a fast-growing occupation early could allow educators and workforce agencies to adjust curricula before shortages become more severe.
Revelio Labs is also expanding its own technology stack. The company’s recently launched Revelio Terminal brings workforce data, analytics, research, applications and AI capabilities into a single interface. The platform provides access to company-level workforce information, job postings, professional profiles and other labor market signals.
That creates an interesting competitive position for PerceivIQ. Rather than building a labor market dataset from scratch, the company can focus on the decision layer: translating large amounts of workforce information into workflows designed for public-sector and community-based organizations.
The broader HRTech market is moving in a similar direction. AI and workforce analytics are increasingly being used to interpret external labor market conditions, forecast skills needs and connect workforce planning with business strategy. Gartner found in 2026 that 22% of CHROs reported at least one business leader had stopped hiring for entry-level roles because of AI automation, while 95% of surveyed organizations had implemented AI in some capacity during the previous year.
That shift makes external workforce intelligence more relevant to educators and economic development leaders. If AI changes which jobs companies hire for, which skills command higher wages and which entry-level pathways remain viable, regional workforce systems need ways to detect those changes rather than relying exclusively on lagging government statistics.
The partnership also gives Revelio Labs a larger foothold in the civic market. Its data already supports corporate workforce planning, talent intelligence and competitive benchmarking. Moving that infrastructure into civic workflows could broaden the audience for real-time labor market intelligence while creating a new distribution channel for the company’s underlying data.
PerceivIQ’s founder Michael Church brings experience in this market. He previously co-founded eIMPACT, a workforce and economic development data visualization company that was acquired by Lightcast in 2024. Lightcast described eIMPACT as a provider of dashboards used by economic development organizations and workforce agencies.
The bigger question is whether civic workforce technology can move from dashboards and historical reporting toward continuous decision intelligence. Data alone does not guarantee better workforce outcomes. But combining current labor market signals with purpose-built workflows could give local leaders a more current view of employer demand, skills gaps and economic shifts—and make workforce technology less about reporting what happened and more about deciding what to do next.
Market Landscape
The workforce intelligence market is shifting from static labor reports toward continuously updated data platforms that combine job postings, professional profiles, company signals, skills and compensation. Revelio Labs is competing in this broader space alongside providers such as Lightcast and other labor market analytics platforms.
The civic segment remains especially relevant as governments, colleges and workforce organizations attempt to align training investments with rapidly changing employer demand. The challenge is increasingly not data availability but data freshness, interoperability, usability and decision support.
AI adds another layer. As automation changes job requirements and skills demand, workforce development organizations will increasingly need external labor market signals to determine which occupations, credentials and career pathways deserve investment.
