Skillsoft, a provider of corporate digital learning and talent development solutions, employs roughly 1,328 people worldwide. Recent staffing data shows 94 new hires against 205 departures, indicating a net reduction but continued recruitment in key roles. The figures suggest the company is fine-tuning its organization while maintaining the scale required to serve a broad enterprise customer base.
Sales and Support is Skillsoft’s largest function with 429 employees, accounting for about one-third of total headcount and reflecting the company’s emphasis on customer acquisition and service. Engineering follows at 250 employees, underscoring the need to sustain and enhance its learning technology platforms. Marketing and Product, Human Resources, and Finance & Administration collectively represent another quarter of the workforce, highlighting balanced investment in go-to-market, people operations, and financial stewardship. Smaller yet strategic teams such as Business Management, Operations, IT, and Education round out the staff mix, keeping core corporate and educational expertise in house.
Skillsoft’s talent footprint is widely distributed, with approximately three-quarters of employees classified under “Other,” pointing to a significant remote or satellite presence. Outside this segment, the largest single hub is Hyderabad, India, followed by Boston, Nashua, and New Brunswick, Canada—each supporting dozens of employees in regional roles. Smaller concentrations in Rochester (NY), Scottsdale (AZ), Ireland, New York City, and Bengaluru illustrate the firm’s multi-continent reach and capacity to tap diverse talent pools.
