Skills: Two views against the expected level

For HR and managers who want to discuss skills on common ground: an expected level per job profile, and two assessments you can compare.

Skills

Two views, one shared benchmark.

Illustration: a job profile with three skills, the employee’s and the manager’s views against the expected level, and a justification required when the two views differ.

Explicit skills to prepare the development conversation.

Try it yourself

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.

Skills day to day

A framework every site understands

  1. Customizable framework

    Describe skills with your own titles and categories.

  2. Job profiles

    Link skills and expected levels to jobs.

  3. Views by scope

    Read the skills of the populations you are authorized to see, checking what consolidated data means.

Before you start

Getting started with Skills

The rollout

  1. Choose a pilot job

    Start from a well-known job and a job profile validated by frontline teams.

  2. Set the benchmarks

    Describe skills, observations and reference levels.

  3. Run the review

    Compare perspectives, make disagreements explicit, fill in the gaps.

  4. Prepare next steps

    Clarify needs with the employee before the people in charge examine them.

  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. 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.

  4. 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.

In the demo

Follow a skill from start to finish

With a blank or anonymized job profile, we follow a skill through to the manager’s justification, then the case where the expected level is missing.

What we review

  • A framework that every site understands
  • Job profiles with expected levels
  • Assessments distinguished by source
  • Development paths to examine

Helpful answers

Your questions, simply answered.

Pointers to assess your project and prepare the right questions.

All questions
Do we need a complete framework before starting?

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.

Your next step

Your sites, your reviews, your priorities. Prepare a demo built around the use cases that matter to your organization.
