How Infinite Campus replaced job titles with capability in motion
Infinite Campus deployed 365Talents to build a living inventory of what its people can actually do — not what their job titles say. Within the first few months, more than 90% of staff had active profiles, and employees added over 250 new skills in a single month, entirely unprompted. Shifting from traditional performance reviews to an organization-wide, skills-based talent scan surfaced 27 qualified internal candidates for hard-to-fill Director roles. What began as a way to keep pace with rapid hiring has changed how the company plans its workforce.

Find every capability: how Infinite Campus made skills visible
Context
Infinite Campus is a comprehensive, web-based K-12 student information system that has served school districts across the United States for over 30 years. Operating in all 50 states with approximately 1 000 employees based in Blaine, Minnesota, the privately held, mission-driven company is dedicated to transforming public education. This long-term orientation shapes every aspect of how it operates, particularly how it develops and retains its own workforce. When Greg Cornman joined as employee number 127, the organization was still early in its growth curve; by the time he became Head of HR, Infinite Campus had expanded past 650 employees.
Challenges
Rapid expansion introduced a fundamental struggle: scaling quickly without diluting the core culture. During peak growth spurts, Infinite Campus brought on 100 to 200 new hires in a single year, resulting in nearly a 50% annual dilution of institutional knowledge. Skills tracking relied on manual methods that aged out almost instantly, forcing internal talent searches to rely on a manager’s immediate network rather than identifying the best candidate for the job. While enterprise vendors dismissed the company assuming its size didn’t warrant high-level talent intelligence, 365Talents took a different approach. After listening to Infinite Campus describe its internal “orbit” concept, 365Talents introduced its Skills Galaxy—an AI-driven visualization that maps how roles and skills cluster across an organization.
Results
The deployment delivered immediate momentum, driving over 90% active employee adoption within the first few months. In just one month, staff entered over 250 new skills completely unprompted, turning individual profiles into dynamic, living resumes updated continuously by both employees and AI. Replacing traditional performance reviews with an org-wide skills scan surfaced 27 qualified internal candidates for hard-to-fill Director positions, allowing all of those roles to be filled from within. This success reshaped the company’s long-term talent strategy: rather than hiring externally to fill mid-level gaps, Infinite Campus now hires at entry level and promotes upward along clear developmental paths. By combining 365Talents as the real-time skills intelligence layer with Docebo as the learning infrastructure, the company successfully closed the loop between knowing talent potential and acting on it.
