My skills

  • Last updated:

This page is dedicated to employees to help them declare/edit/add skills, HR & managers who want to more easily understand and assess those skills.

As for the profile, this page can be displayed to employees themselves in self view or to third parties. As long as an employee's profile is public, so is his my skills page. While full information can be view by employees themselves, information display may depends on third parties rights.

 

Third-party view, manager, HR or Admin

To access a My Skills page in third-party context the rules of transversality and the rules of access to the profile page are applied. It means that if a third party has the right to access the profile, then he has the right to view the employee's My Skills page.

As a third party I can access it from:

  • the profile sub-nav
  • the profile skill inserts

When a third party has access to a profile, they are shown a sub-navigation:

  • Overview: directs to the collab's profile
  • "User name"'s skills: directs to the My Skill homepage of the collab
  • Career Planner: if the configuration is enabled and the right allows it, directs to the career planner page of the collab

The content of the page and the information provided will depend on the existing configurations (feedback and validation).

 

Manage My Skills Tab

The profile summary block shows the following data:

  • Avatar, title and subtitle
  • Number of total skills attached to the profile
  • % of skills assessed compared to all skills declared

Skill suggestion block displays a suggestion of skills from the user's profile

Card view

Employee's skills are presented in the form of cards, the skills are sorted alphabetically by skill name, it is not possible to change this order.

Hovering the skill description icon displays the skill's description in the user's interface language.

Clicking on a card's chevron displays the skill details with the same level of information as on the profile.

Depending on the platform configuration, when My Job's skills configuration is activated, two skills lists are displayed:

  • My job's skills : skills inherited from the employee's job description
  • My other skills : skills spontaneously declared by the employee.

→ there is no repetition of skills in each of the tables

When My Job's skills configuration is disabled, only the "All my skills" list is displayed.

 

Table View

Employee's skills are presented in the form of tables, the skills are sorted alphabetically by skill name, it is not possible to change this order.

Depending on the platform configuration, when My Job's skills feature is activated, two skills tables are displayed:

  • My job's skills : skills inherited from the employee's job description
  • My other skills : skills spontaneously declared by the employee.

→ there is no repetition of skills in each of the tables

In each of the default tables, skills are sorted alphabetically by the "Name" column.

When My Job's skills feature is disabled, a single table entitled "All my skills" is displayed.

The tables display the skills linked to the employee's profile, 1 line per skill.

  • Find a training: if the TRAINING opportunity type is active, opens the training type opportunities page filtered on this skill.
  • Delete: As an employee viewing its own My Skills page and if the skill is not forced by My job skills, deletes the skill from the profile

Third-party view of the skills table

In third-party view, the fields "Professional Appetites" and "Development Wishes" are combined into the "Aspirations" column.

 

Get AI skills suggestions Tab

This page is available on the employee's own My Skills page, here the employee can add directly skills one by one to his profile.

The page lists all skill suggestions from 2 contexts:

  • Based on similarity from the profile's current skills : dataset skills that match the experiences descriptions filled by the employee,
  • Based on skills extracted from the profile's experiences : dataset skills that match other skills already declared by the employee.

Each skill is displayed as a chip that the user can add to their profile.

Select skills from dataset Tab

This page is available on the employee's own My Skills page, it displays two components. On this page the employee can select than add new skills on his profile.

The skill selection for each of these two components appears on the page, below the autocomplete. The user must confirm their selection in order to validate the addition of the skills to their profile.

It is possible for the user to remove the skills he wants before adding them into their profile.

The number of skills to be added is displayed in the add button.

 

Autocomplete form

We display the skill addition autocomplete, it is the same autocomplete that can be found in the add a skill modale on the profile.

Learn more about the skill autocomplete

The skills autocomplete is a suggestion engine (not a search engine) that helps user's skill search by proposing skill heads based on user's keying.

Skill search is made through the customer's active skill referential, even into the inactive and to integrate referential if there is an exact match (to avoid multiple false new declaration of a same skill). Autocomplete is not exactly search. The autocomplete purpose is to help the user declare a skill.

This means that we are looking for what the user meant when he was typing the word and we return skills that match in one way or another a skill containing what the user has started to type.

The skills returned are the head of a duplicate that contains the keyed search or the head of a duplicate that is close semantically to a skill that contains the search. This latter part is complex and is handled by a model that understands skills globally (meaning that it is not limited to your skills referential).

Another important information is the fact that we return only 10 skills in the autocomplete. This limit is set for UX purposes (a user cannot be presented with too many skills in an autocomplete).

Keep in mind that the suggestion logic is sometime restricted to a certain language. Especially for the autocomplete present in the profile pages. This means that skills returned by the autocomplete will be the heads of the skills in the user language.

The autocomplete is based on a "contains" parameter.

For example:

Let's say i have 2 skills in my dataset:"Scriptography" and "Javascript"

If i type "script" i will have 2 results "Scriptography" and "Javascript"

Update: 

As of today the autocomplete referentials are updated every night. This means that newly integrated skills won't appear in the autocomplete immediately. New skills will be available the day after their integration in the referential.

 

 

Pick & choose

This component display depends on the plateform configuration.

Pick and choose allows employee to navigate through the categories and subcategories of the skill dataset. It displays the head skills with the "Can be suggested" attribute active, in the language of the platform user.

For each hierarchical level, we display:

  • the breadcrumb, with a link to go back to the parent level,
  • if at least 1 cat: the number of categories,
  • if at least 1 skill: the number of skills,
  • existing subcategories or skills:
    • Only head skills in the user's language, whose attribute can be suggested = true are displayed
    • Only categories containing at least 1 visible skill are displayed

For each category:

  • the number of subcategories it contains
  • the number of skills it contains

For each skill 3 states are possible:

  • The skill is already present on the profile: the skill is grayed out and not selectable. When hovering over it, the user is told that they already have it.
  • The skill is not declared yet by the employee, then the skill is white and selectable,
  • The skill is not declared yet by the employee but selected, then the skill is blue.

If a description exists, then a description icon is displayed , the first 300 characters of which are displayed on hover in the language of the user interface.
