Skill sets in Everday help you define the specific skills and levels required for each role or project. By managing skill sets effectively, you ensure your workforce is aligned with organizational goals and that teams have the right capabilities for success.
Why define skill sets?
Defining skill sets provides a standardized way to identify the latest skills and proficiency levels needed for each role or skill group in your company. In this process you can:
- Translate job descriptions into skills: Use our AI to identify the key competencies and levels needed for each role in your organization.
- Identify gaps and strengths: After defining skills, you can spot areas where additional training or hiring may be required.
- Make better assignments: Match employees with roles or projects based on their skills.
Example: For a Senior Data Analyst role, you might define skills like statistical modeling, proficiency in Python, and data visualisation.
