AI-enhanced Skills import and matching

• Default Off (Configuration implementation required)

Who: HRBPs, Talent Leaders

Requirements: Skills Design must be enabled

What's new: This feature introduces an AI-driven matching engine to align imported skills with the Eightfold Standard Skills Taxonomy. Previously, aligning external taxonomies required time-consuming manual offline analysis, resulting in delayed implementation and fragmented analytics. This update provides immediate visibility into taxonomy alignment by categorizing skills as direct, partial, or no match, significantly reducing manual cleanup efforts. By ensuring imported skills map correctly to standard definitions, organizations achieve more accurate skill analytics and efficient matching capabilities.

How it works: Upload a skills CSV to automatically categorize entries into match types, such as Direct, Partial, or No Match, and identify non-skill entries. Navigate to the new Skills to Review tab to accept AI-suggested merges, add new skills, or delete unwanted entries before finalizing them in the Skills Engine.
