Case Study: Quick Heal reduces external hires and builds a skills-driven workforce with Darwinbox

Harnessing Talent for the Future: Quick Heal's Skills Management Transformation

Quick Heal, a cybersecurity company with 1,000+ employees across 40 countries, needed a better way to manage specialized talent as cybersecurity skill demand outpaced supply. Before partnering with Darwinbox, skills were tracked manually in Excel and custom fields, leaving HR and managers without reliable validation or visibility into employee capabilities. Darwinbox’s HRMS and Skills Management module were brought in to support Quick Heal’s broader HR transformation.

Darwinbox implemented a dynamic, customizable skills inventory that auto-mapped 95% of required skills, standardized skill data, and enabled employees and managers to validate and update profiles in real time. As a result, Quick Heal built a repository of 127 unique skills, achieved 84% adoption of primary skill assignment, and reduced external hires by 20% by improving internal talent search, role mapping, and skills-based workforce planning.
