If you want to know what AI looks like when it finally grows up in HR, Josh Bersin’s Galileo just got a big upgrade. Work intelligence platform Reejig has signed on as the Trusted Content Partner for the AI-powered assistant, giving enterprises the kind of task-level visibility into jobs that HR leaders have been missing.
This isn’t just another “AI for HR” headline. It’s the marriage of Bersin’s decades of HR research with Reejig’s painstakingly mapped Work Ontology®—a proprietary dataset that breaks every role down into its core tasks and skills, much like Google once indexed the web. The goal: to help enterprises actually see their work at the task level, so they can automate and redesign jobs without flying blind.
The Map of Work Itself
Reejig’s Work Ontology® has been described as a “Google Maps for work.” Built from 23 proprietary ontologies, enriched with 130 million real job records, and validated against billions of live work signals, the platform claims to capture the DNA of how work is designed and performed.
For Galileo, this means HR leaders can drill into the minutiae of what HR teams actually do—whether it’s payroll processing, talent acquisition, or compliance—and identify where AI can take over, where roles need re-engineering, and where humans are irreplaceable.
Josh Bersin himself calls it a “job task analysis Agent,” instantly giving HR and leadership teams a sharper, data-backed lens on transformation.
Why It Matters
The timing couldn’t be better. Enterprises are in a rush to deploy AI, but too often they’re doing it with a fuzzy view of the work itself—leading to wasted investments, botched rollouts, and employee pushback.
“Too many organizations are making AI decisions based on incomplete or outdated data,” Reejig CEO Siobhan Savage warns. “Our Work Ontology® makes work visible at the task level—so leaders know exactly what can be automated, what needs to evolve, and how to reinvent their workforces responsibly.”
It’s a sharp critique, but a fair one. Even as rivals like Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, and Oracle race to infuse AI into their platforms, most are still operating at the role or skills level—not the nitty-gritty of tasks. That’s the differentiator Reejig is betting on.
Beyond HR
While Galileo is getting the first taste of this intelligence in the HR function, the implications are broader. Reejig’s ontology spans finance, operations, technology, and beyond. In theory, any enterprise leader could plug into this dataset to fine-tune AI transformation across departments—whether that means automating invoice processing in finance, optimizing supply chain workflows, or redesigning IT support roles.
Combined with Bersin’s 25 years of research, the result is positioned as a new standard for work intelligence: clarity, confidence, and control in an era where AI transformation can easily turn messy.
Looking Ahead
Reejig and The Josh Bersin Company will showcase the integration on September 4, 2025, in a live webinar aimed at enterprise leaders eager to see how this hybrid brain trust works in practice.
If it lives up to its promise, this could be the beginning of a new era of “precision AI” in HR—finally giving leaders the ability to match technology investments with the actual, measurable work inside their organizations.
