Identifying the skills a company needs sets the direction. Giving every employee the means to develop those skills helps them move forward. With MentorcliQ, Neobrain bridges these two dimensions: skills intelligence and the human support that helps them grow.
On October 21, 2026, MentorcliQ announced the acquisition of Neobrain. This union brings together complementary technologies around a shared ambition: enabling companies to mobilize their talent and prepare their teams for the transformations of work, particularly those accelerated by artificial intelligence.
A new milestone in Neobrain's development
Since its founding in Paris in 2018, Neobrain’s mission has been to raise awareness of the critical role skills play in bridging the gap between employee aspirations and company needs.
This vision has evolved over time. The merger with WiserSkills in 2022 strengthened its capabilities in skills mapping and strategic workforce planning. The acquisition of Flashbrand in 2023 extended this approach to performance tracking, feedback, and dialogue between employees and managers, while also supporting its expansion into the United States.
By joining MentorcliQ, Neobrain continues this trajectory. Its expertise in skills and internal mobility is now combined with solutions that structure mentoring and exchanges within employee communities.
An enriched offering to support skills transformation
For HR departments, technological shifts raise very concrete questions: which skills should be developed? Which employees can transition into evolving roles? How can they be supported through this transition? MentorcliQ and Neobrain together provide a complementary solution:
- Neobrain’s technology provides visibility intoavailable skills, future needs, and pathways between roles. It makes it possible to identify career prospects and connect employees with internal opportunities.
- Mentoring and MentorcliQ communities enhance the ability to act on these perspectives. This allows HR to articulate the identification of needs, career paths, and support systems based on knowledge transfer and peer-to-peer learning.
Mentoring to support career paths
Professional growth requires guidance, dialogue, and the opportunity to benefit from the experience of other professionals.
With mentoring, we put people back at the heart of the conversation. Paul Courtaud, founder of Neobrain.
Mentoring provides this support. It can help an employee prepare for a new role, find their footing in a new position, or develop their skills by learning from an experienced colleague.
Combined with an understanding of skills and potential career paths, it gives HR teams an additional way to support transitions. A career perspective can thus be translated into a development path that combines training, experience, and knowledge transfer.
Communities to facilitate the flow of expertise
A portion of learning is built through daily interactions: sharing a practice, discussing challenges, or discovering how another team approaches a problem.
Employee communities provide a framework for these exchanges. They bring people together around shared expertise, interests, or goals, and facilitate knowledge sharing beyond team boundaries.
For companies, they provide support to spread expertise and support the evolution of practices. For employees, they open up new spaces for learning and contribution.
Skills intelligence at the service of human development
With this partnership, Neobrain and MentorcliQ bring together an understanding of skills, career opportunities, and the relationships that support professional development.
For Neobrain's French clients, this new milestone enhances the resources available to support job transformation: anticipating needs, mobilizing internal skills, and helping everyone grow through mentoring and communities.
