Learning for software developers is broken. Available options are boring, time-consuming, not relevant to everyone, or require the company to take a big productivity hit. We've designed a fast, effective training solution for tech teams that avoids those pitfalls. Targeted Capability Training is: - Core to how an engineering team operates, not a fringe add-on or an after-thought. - Learning that aligns with business priorities and changes what the team is capable of. And we’re called Skiller Whale because … well, our love of puns knows no bounds. Our mission is to change what tech teams are capable of. We’ve found the most effective way to accomplish this is through challenging, realistic exercises that can be explored and tackled in our interactive teaching model. We strive to be intelligent, playful learners, like our Orca, Ada (yes, we love a Lovelace reference). These principles define who we are, not only as a company providing a product, but also as a group of people working together. We believe that diversity makes us stronger and are dedicated to building a company that represents society as a whole. We value marginalised people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. We value honest and open communication, and we believe that in order to foster an environment that enables this, it’s important that our team feel included, recognised and like they can bring their full selves to work.

Hard work and ambition are integral to the economic fabric. But for too long, full-time employment has been valued over other kinds of work. Steady changes that, with an income-building platform for people building self-directed careers in the new economy. We’re creating a model that employers, media, and financial services firms can use to better understand the patterns and opportunities that can be found in this dynamic, growing segment.

Hiring has a trust problem. Fake candidates, stolen identities, proxy interviewers and AI-fed answers are now common enough that most teams have met one without knowing it. A resume is easy to fake. An interview is easy to outsource. By the time it surfaces, the cost has already landed on the team. Aperture is the human intelligence platform. We make sure the person you hire is the person who interviewed. We bring identity verification, candidate fraud detection, background verification and threat intelligence together with adaptive AI interviews and λ-CORE, our candidate evaluation engine, so hiring teams can see who is real and who is actually good long before a final round.
