About Filtered
Filtered is a learning tech company that helps organisations get the best return on their L&D spend. That means using data to decide on the most important skills for an organisation. Then, analysing which content is helping build them and filtering out the rest. And finally, getting that content to the people that need it all via our Content Intelligence.
It's led to partnerships with clients such as Heineken, AstraZeneca and Danone. It's helped make six-figure savings on content and curation spend whilst raising user engagement. And, over a decade since Filtered started, it's helped a million people build the skills they really need to do better work.
That's what the various members of the Filtered fam, based around the world, spend their days working on. We're a curious, considerate, thoughtful, multicultural team with a passion for learning, solving complex challenges, and having fun doing it. And we're always on the look-out for like-minded, like-spirited people!
