Galileo Agent Indexes the Web for One-Stop Enterprise HR and People Search

Galileo Adds Web Search: One-Stop Answers for HR and People Teams

OAKLAND, Calif., Sept. 18, 2025 - The Josh Bersin Company announced a new capability for its AI-powered HR and management agent, Galileo: Web Search. In the next week, users will be able to search and analyze trusted Josh Bersin Company content alongside results from leading generative AI search engines and Google-all inside Galileo.

This turns Galileo from a premier HR knowledge assistant into a comprehensive search, retrieval, and classification tool. Every result is clearly labeled, with Josh Bersin Company and trusted partner content surfaced first. Privacy remains intact: all user activity and research stay within each person's private Galileo workspace.

What's New

• Web Search option that compares Galileo's guidance with top external sources-no need to switch to other tools.
• Unified answers across HR, leadership, jobs, skills, internal benchmarks, and the broader web.
• Transparent sourcing so HR teams can act with confidence.

Galileo is currently used by 7,000+ professionals across 800+ organizations.

Why It Matters for HR

• Policy build-outs: compare your draft with external standards and case examples in one view.
• Job architecture and skills: align roles with labor market data, competency models, and internal frameworks.
• Manager enablement: pull proven leadership models and practical playbooks without juggling tools.
• L&D curation: scan the web alongside trusted courses and benchmarks to create targeted learning paths.
• Benchmarking: validate internal metrics against credible market insights while keeping context from your HR stack.

What's Inside Galileo

Galileo blends 30 years of Josh Bersin Company research, 500 real-world case studies, and proven leadership models (including the Irresistible Leadership model) with trusted partner resources such as Reejig, Lightcast, SHL's Universal Competency Framework, Oyster, Heidrick & Struggles, and Visier. The result: depth for HR decision-making and breadth when you need external validation.

How It Works

• Ask a question once. Galileo analyzes trusted internal knowledge and the wider internet in parallel.
• Results are classified and ranked; trusted sources appear first, with web evidence clearly labeled.
• You can inspect sources, compare viewpoints, and move from insight to action without context switching.
