Two views on one skill
Set the level as the employee sees it, then as their manager sees it: the gap with the expected level appears, just as in a review.

Before you start
Getting started with Skills
The rollout
01
Choose a pilot job
Start from a well-known job and a job profile validated by frontline teams.
02
Set the benchmarks
Describe skills, observations and reference levels.
03
Run the review
Compare perspectives, make disagreements explicit, fill in the gaps.
04
Prepare next steps
Clarify needs with the employee before the people in charge examine them.
01
Start from jobs, not from an overall score
The same skill sometimes goes by a different name from one site to another: harmonize it before consolidating assessments.
A job profile links each skill to an expected level: that benchmark is what gives the gap its meaning.
Name each skill in the language used on the ground.
Describe what can be observed at work.
Link it to the relevant job profiles.
Decide who updates the framework, and when.
02
Know who assessed what
The Employee View and the Manager View stay separate: in a review, the manager justifies any assessment that differs from the employee’s.
When the AI spots a skill in a review, it is an indication drawn from the available content, to be checked.
Employee View
An assessment to discuss
Manager View
A review to justify with professional facts
Expected level
The reference for the job or an active job profile
AI detection
An indicative element to check, separate from human validation
03
When there’s no benchmark
Without an expected skill or an active job profile, no expected level is shown: this is not a requirement of zero.
A skill that has not been entered may well be mastered; a skill that is often mentioned is not necessarily mastered. Compare data of the same kind.
04
From the review to the next step
The review helps clarify a training or support need, or a career aspiration. You discuss it with the person; next steps go through your HR processes.

Helpful answers
Your questions, simply answered.
Pointers to assess your project and prepare the right questions.
No: start with a pilot job, filling in the expected levels of the skills being assessed.
Who sets the expected level?
Your HR team, with business line managers, for each job profile. Without a reference, a level flagged as simulated remains an estimate.
Does an AI detection validate a skill?
No. AI detection is separate from validation by the company. The authorized person assesses the skill, based on the work and the information available.
Can we compare sites?
Yes, depending on your access, if the sites share the same definitions and you compare assessments, not mentions.
Does the software decide on job moves?
No. This information feeds a conversation about professional development. Possible positions, the person’s wishes and the company’s decision are examined separately.

That’s me! In the app, I help each person prepare their part of the review form: I ask the template’s questions one at a time, then fill in the answers, for them to review.
The conversation with the manager and the decisions stay with the people involved. And I’m always presented as an AI.
