Workforce Assessmen
India's First Camera-Based AI
Platform That Assesses Real Skills —Not Just Résumés.
JARK built Skyljo's end-to-end AI workforce assessment platform — from candidate E-KYC and face recognition to camera-based skill calibration and verified certification — transforming how India's blue-collar workforce is evaluated, hired, and deployed.
THE CHALLENGE
India's skilled workforce was being assessed on gut feel — not ground truth.
With over 15,000 ITIs conducting 2 million+ assessments annually, India's skill validation system was fundamentally broken. Evaluators would watch a worker perform a task and mark them "good" or "bad" based on personal observation. No standardisation. No granular scoring. No data. A carpenter in Aurangabad and a carpenter in Ahmedabad could pass the same certification through entirely different standards applied by different assessors on different days.
For enterprises like Aditya Birla and Hindalco deploying hundreds of skilled workers across manufacturing plants, this translated directly into productivity loss — hiring workers who looked certified on paper but couldn't perform on the floor. Trial periods stretched. Retraining costs mounted. Deployment timelines slipped.
The Brief from Skyljo
Build a full-stack AI platform that enables any employer to assess the actual skill level of a blue-collar worker — using camera-based video AI, not a written test. The platform needs to handle worker registration and E-KYC at scale, run AI-augmented assessments that assist human evaluators rather than replace them, generate granular performance analytics per worker per skill step, and issue verifiable certifications. It has to work in the field, on mobile, across trades from carpentry to civil engineering to plumbing
The product had to be built for real-world field conditions — low-bandwidth environments, workers who aren't tech-savvy, assessors who need AI to support their judgment rather than override it. And it had to produce a skill score that industry could trust and act on.
HOW IT WORKS
Five layers from registration to verified certification.
JARK engineered Skyljo as a continuous pipeline — each stage feeding the next, from the moment a worker registers on the app to the moment they receive a nationally recognised, data-backed skill certificate.
01
Worker Registration & E-KYC with Face Recognition
Workers register on the Skyljo mobile app, select their trade category, and complete a full E-KYC verification — including Aadhaar-linked identity validation and a face recognition check. Every candidate in the Skyljo system is a 100% verified, genuine professional before any assessment begins. This eliminates proxy assessments and creates a trusted talent pool that employers can access with full confidence. The face matching algorithm prevents impersonation at every subsequent login.
02
Camera-Based Video Skill Assessment
Instead of a written test or a subjective evaluator observation, Skyljo uses camera-based video recording to capture the worker performing a real trade task — step by step. The AI vision layer analyses the video against a predefined skill rubric: correct technique, sequence of steps, safety compliance, tool usage, and output quality. This captures actual skill execution that a résumé, interview, or written test simply cannot — and does it in a fraction of the time of a traditional on-site trial.
03
AI Augmentaton of Human Assessors
Skyljo operates on a "Human & Technology" model — the AI doesn't replace the assessor, it arms them with data. While the assessor observes or reviews the video, the AI simultaneously scores each step of the task, flags deviations, and highlights mastered vs deficient skill components in real time. The assessor's judgment is anchored in objective data rather than subjective impression. This creates assessments that are both trusted by industry and scalable to thousands of simultaneous evaluations — something human-only evaluation can never achieve.
04
Granular Performance Analytics & Skill Gap Report
Every assessment generates a detailed analytics report — broken down step by step, skill by skill. Employers don't just see "pass/fail." They see exactly which steps a worker has mastered, where they are deficient, and what training intervention would close the gap. For training institutions, this creates a feedback loop: aggregate analytics across students reveal curriculum weaknesses, not just individual performance. For Skyljo clients like manufacturing firms, this data directly informs deployment decisions, team composition, and upskilling priorities.
05
Verified Skill Certification — Nationally Recognised
Workers who complete the assessment receive a data-backed skill certificate — generated from actual performance data, not just attendance or test scores. Skyljo's long-term vision, backed by engagement with senior government officials at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, is to standardise this skill score nationally — so a verified Skyljo score becomes the benchmark qualification that any employer across India can trust. Certificates are verifiable, digital, and tied to the worker's E-KYC identity.
Platform use cases
One platform. Three distinct deployment contexts.
JARK built Skyljo to serve three different stakeholder types simultaneously — each with different needs from the same underlying AI engine.
🔍
Enterprise Hiring
Manufacturing firms like Hindalco use Skyljo to assess and shortlist skilled workers before deployment — eliminating on-site trials and cutting time-to-hire by weeks.
📈
Training Quantification
ITIs and skill development institutions use Skyljo to assess the actual outcome of training programmes — replacing subjective scoring with video-based calibration that proves learning happened.
Academic Upskilling
Engineering and vocational colleges use Skyljo to benchmark students against industry standards — identifying gaps in curriculum and producing industry-ready graduates with verified skill scores.
HR Agency Integration
Staffing and placement agencies integrate Skyljo as a certification layer in their pipeline — offering clients a verified talent pool that commands a premium over unverified candidates.
Outcomes
What changed for Skyljo — and for India's skilled workforce.
21% improvement in hiring efficiency for enterprise clients — reducing the time from candidate identification to deployment through verified skill data replacing subjective trial periods
27% reduction in training time as organisations could identify specific skill gaps per worker and target interventions precisely — rather than running blanket retraining programmes
1.63× improvement in workforce productivity as better-matched workers reached full operating capacity faster — with skills that matched the actual requirements of the role
Enterprise clients including Aditya Birla and Hindalco onboarded to the platform — validating Skyljo's credibility with India's largest industrial employers
Unveiled at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 to senior government officials and industry leaders, with recognition as a solution aligned with India's national skilling strategy
Positioned as the foundation for a national AI-based skill assessment standard — one verified score, recognised by any employer, anywhere in India

CLIENT FEEDBACK
“
Engineering and manufacturing firms in India always find a dearth of skilled talent. A platform like Skyljo will for the first time enable us to see everyone with the same lens — identifying the weakest and working with them to improve productivity.
