Horsefly Analytics review
A public-sector-focused platform for skills, labor-market, and workforce intelligence.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Horsefly Analytics is a cloud-based talent intelligence platform for talent acquisition teams, location strategists, workforce planners, and public-sector organizations. It brings together labor-market supply and demand, skills, salaries, diversity data, job postings, and talent movement across locations. Searches can be refined by skills, job titles, keywords, and locations, while skills-gap analysis, compensation benchmarking, and workforce forecasting support planning decisions. Horsefly states that its data spans more than 65 countries and 170,000 towns and cities.
The published Public Sector Professional plan is designed for public-sector organizations in the UK and includes Professional Plan features with access to one country. Pricing is contact-sales rather than a published numeric amount, and there is no free plan. The platform is available through the web and API, allowing organizations to work with external labor-market data in the product or through API-based access. Reports can be downloaded in PDF or CSV format, which supports sharing and further analysis.
Its strongest area is the breadth of labor-market analysis in one workspace. Users can combine historical supply-and-demand trends, global heat maps, salary benchmarking, diversity, gender and ethnicity analytics, and future talent-gap forecasting. AI-assisted search-building and job-description skills analysis add guided ways to explore workforce data. Horsefly suits public-sector teams that need detailed market comparisons, skills intelligence, and workforce planning, particularly where UK public-sector pricing and a one-country plan fit the requirement. Organizations seeking transparent numeric pricing, a free plan, or a broader publicly described plan structure should consider alternatives.
