Assign specialized skills to employee groups

• Default Off (Self-service)

Who: Admin, Employee, Manager

Requirements:This update is specifically intended for organizations that use Skills Assessments with specialized skills categorized into groups.

What's new: Scale skill group assignments more effectively by whitelisting specialized skills for specific employee segments.In previous versions, there was no mechanism to restrict a grouped specialized skill to a particular subset of the workforce. For instance, customers could not limit "EU Governance" skill groups strictly to employees based in the EU.This enhancement empowers admins to manage skill group visibility using eligibility criteria like team or region. By ensuring that employees only see groups relevant to their role and location, organizations can deliver more accurate upskilling recommendations and contextual skill assessments.

How it works: Admins can now assign specific whitelisting criteria to skill groups and categories via permissions. When an employee accesses their skills assessment page, Eightfold filters the display to show only the groups mapped to that specific individual’s profile and organizational context.

Value: Enable Employee Desire for Skill Development
