A Practical Guide for Building Skills Apps

As organizations are shifting from job-based to skills-based, the need for skills intelligence is rapidly evolving. New technologies—including AI and automation—are creating new job requirements. Talent shortages, the competitive labor market, and employee demands for more personal growth and skills development all have profound implications on talent retention and upskilling. A skills-based approach is becoming increasingly important in talent management.

However, today very few organizations are in a position to truly leverage skills data because of the limited ability and dedicated resources in creating skill taxonomy and extracting meaningful skills insights. Leveraging skills APIs gives product leaders, technology and engineering leaders the shortcut to build skills application rapidly from zero.
