Summary
Caisse des Depots, the French government financial institution founded in 1816, faced a familiar challenge for large, established organizations: its traditional approach to career management relied on static processes, manually referenced skills, and annual interviews that offered little real-time visibility into employee capabilities or internal mobility opportunities.
Caisse des Depots redesigned its career experience to give employees greater control and autonomy over their professional paths, moving from a system built on periodic, manual assessment to one powered by AI-driven skills matching. The transformation centers on a three-step approach: employees build online profiles detailing both existing and aspirational skills, and the system then matches them to new internal opportunities as they arise across the organization.
Making that shift succeed required real organizational groundwork, including how the company invested in digital tools to strengthen employee experience, popularized specific AI use cases internally, and worked to build employee trust in how HR data would be used and managed. A partnership with a technology provider brought the system to life within a large public institution.
For HR and talent leaders exploring how to modernize career development in large, established organizations, Caisse des Depots' experience offers a structured look at what it takes to move from static processes to a skills-based, dynamic internal talent model.
What does it take for a two-hundred-year-old institution to rebuild career development around real-time skills data?
