Categories, skills, and everything between.
A well-designed taxonomy is the foundation of everything. Structure your skills into meaningful categories that mirror how your organization actually thinks. From there, build the skills, sub-skills, and proficiency levels that give every role a clear capability blueprint.
Unlimited
Skills, categories and sub-categories
Flexible
Build it your way. Your structure, your language, your rules.
Single source
One verified taxonomy across your entire organization
Hierarchical structure
Organize skills into categories and sub-categories. Create as many levels of depth as your business needs.
Your language, your labels
Name skills and categories exactly as your organization refers to them. No enforced frameworks, no generic defaults.
Hard skills and soft skills
Model both technical capabilities and behavioural competencies in a single taxonomy.
Map skills to roles, at any scale.
A taxonomy only becomes useful when it connects to roles. Organize your skills into categories that map directly to the functions and role families in your organization — so every role has a clear, manageable set of skills attached to it, not an overwhelming list.
Define what good looks like.
Proficiency only means something when everyone agrees on what it means. Build rating scales and assessment schemas that give every score a shared, precise definition — so data from across your organization is truly comparable.
Flexible scale points
Choose Yes/No, 3, 5 or any point scale depending on your requirements.
Descriptive level definitions
Write precise behavioural descriptions for each level. Eliminate subjectivity. Assessors and employees share the same reference point.
Skills inventory assessment
Run structured assessments against your taxonomy to build a verified skills inventory. Capture self-assessed and manager-validated proficiency levels across every skill in your framework.
Four ways to build your taxonomy.
There’s no single right way to start. Choose the path that fits your team’s time, expertise, and ambition. Move between them as you grow.
Build & import manually
Start from a blank taxonomy. Define your own categories, skills, and proficiency levels from the ground up, then import existing data via CSV or spreadsheet. Best for teams with a clear existing framework they want to migrate.
Use the Skills Base Library
Start from our curated collection of pre-built skills data templates — organized by role type. Import a full category, cherry-pick individual skills, or blend templates across domains. Then customize everything to match your language.
Work with our consultants
Engage our skills framework specialists to audit your existing data, interview your teams, and recommend a taxonomy structure that fits your organization’s design and strategic goals. We do the heavy lifting — you validate and approve.
Let AI infer your taxonomy
Connect your HRIS, job descriptions, or performance data and let our AI tools analyze your organization’s existing language to infer a draft taxonomy. Review, refine, and publish — your taxonomy shaped by how your organization already talks about skills.
AI for your Skills Taxonomy
