What Sift is

Sift helps organizations find colleagues, view reporting relationships, and understand how work is done across teams. Its people directory searches employee profile data and lets users filter colleagues by skills, roles, and other information. An automatically updated org chart uses company people data to show both formal and informal reporting lines. Profiles can contain skills, experience, projects, interests, pronouns, name pronunciation, and languages. Sift can combine employee information from multiple systems in one profile, with prebuilt identity connectors and SFTP workflows. Listed integrations include Workday, UKG, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, Okta, Ping Identity, CSV files, Microsoft Teams, and Slack. Sift does not include native messaging or chat, but profiles can link to tools such as Teams and Slack. The service is available in browsers, Windows and Mac desktop downloads, and iOS and Android apps, as well as through an API. Plans include onboarding, online support, support chat, and a dedicated Client Success Manager. Sift says customer data is encrypted in transit and at rest, segmented between customers, and subject to regular third-party penetration testing. It also reports a third-party SOC 2 Type 2 audit and GDPR compliance. Sift Enterprises Corp. identifies itself as the maker and describes the product as handcrafted in Detroit.
