Revelio Labs

Market position

Revelio Labs positions itself as a workforce intelligence provider offering a standardized, cross-company view of HR trends, contrasting its approach with legacy setups that require large analyst teams and expensive infrastructure. Its research is regularly cited by news publications on topics such as layoffs, pay transparency, and return-to-office trends.

Management cites the creation of standardized taxonomies covering job titles, seniority, activities, skills, and companies — including a company taxonomy distinguishing talent competitors from product competitors — as the basis for comparing workforce trends across firms and industries, combined with an accessible self-service delivery model rather than analyst-heavy infrastructure.

Technology

Revelio Labs scrapes and ingests public profiles, resumes, job postings, sentiment reviews, and layoff notices, then applies in-house algorithms, statistical modeling, and taxonomies that create mathematical representations of job titles, seniority levels, work activities, skills, and companies. A company taxonomy maps which firms compete for talent versus products and services. Statistical methods correct for sampling bias and reporting lags. Datasets span workforce dynamics (global, history since 2007, weekly updates), transitions (since 2008, monthly), job postings via COSMOS (since 2021, weekly), sentiment (since 2009, monthly), US-centric layoff notices (since 2008, monthly), and individual work histories (since 2008, daily), delivered via API, data feed, and Terminal.

Go-to-market

The company combines self-service product entry points (free trial, Terminal access) and direct enterprise sales ("talk to an expert"), with inbound demand generated by published research such as RPLS, the AI Labor Market Tracker, and frequent citation of its labor market analyses in the press. It also pursues partnerships, including a partnership with PerceivIQ aimed at workforce boards and economic development organizations, and international expansion via acquisition.

Investors including hedge funds, private equity and venture capital firms; corporate strategy and HR teams; consulting firms; governments and public-sector bodies; and academic institutions. Named users and referenced organizations include the U.S. Federal Reserve System, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Citi, KPMG, EY, MIT, Harvard Business School, Google, Amazon, Airbnb, Accenture, Dropbox, Expedia, Cigna, Deloitte, Stanford, BlackRock, AT&T, and Barclays.

Geography

Headquartered in New York, with global data coverage. The 2025 acquisition of Singapore-linked Salary Board added compensation data and a client presence across Europe and Asia, supporting international expansion. Dashboards highlight geographies including New York City, London, Paris, and San Francisco.

History

Founded in 2018, Revelio Labs raised $4.5 million in seed funding in late 2021 and a $15 million Series A in October 2022 led by Elephant Partners, bringing total capital raised to $19 million at that time. In May 2025 it acquired Singapore- and Europe-focused compensation data provider Salary Board, absorbing its team, data, and models. It has since launched Revelio Public Labor Statistics and an AI Labor Market Tracker, and partnered with PerceivIQ to serve workforce boards and economic developers.

Risks & controversies

Press coverage has noted privacy questions around scraping public profiles and resumes, the potential for errors and omissions in hiring data, and dependence on third-party data sources — in May 2022 the company lost access to user skills for the majority of public profiles and had to implement an alternative solution. Coverage also flagged broader HR-technology adoption friction among enterprise buyers. Competition exists from other firms mining the web for hiring insights.
