Driving assessment and upskilling on Specialized Skills

• Default Off (Self-service)

Who: Employees, Admins 

Requirements: Skills Assessment feature must be enabled. 

What's new: This feature introduces Specialized Skills, allowing organizations to track niche expertise tied to specific projects or locations rather than broad, role-based capabilities. By capturing unique skills like ‘GDPR Compliance’ or ‘PLC Programming’, businesses can ensure their teams remain compliant and competitive in highly specialized fields. The system enables employees and managers to evaluate these context-specific skills through dedicated tabs, providing clear visibility into the organization’s specialized talent density.

How it works: Administrators define specialized skills through file ingestion into Eightfold. These skills appear in a dedicated tab within the Skills Assessment page for self, manager, and peer evaluations. Administrators then leverage Data Hub to gain holistic insights into skill coverage and assessment completion across the organization.
