All of this takes place in a data-driven environment, eliminating recruitment errors stemming from human biases.

### **Performance Levels**

SkillPanel** **enables employers to assess the competencies of their employees in areas such as programming languages and libraries. Employees can subjectively evaluate their skills (Self-assessment Level), which can be compared with assessments made by their supervisors (Managerial Level).

Such an assessment helps the company determine whether an employee tends to underestimate or overestimate their current skill set.

SkillPanel** **provides tools to gain insight into the dynamic development of individual employees, teams, and the entire company. Project managers can recruit team members based on their skills and take into account the learning curve over a specified period. Conducting assessments systematically and seasonally allows managers to visualize the dynamics of employee development, such as growth or decline over time. This facilitates the organization of workshops and programs that drive the company's global competencies in line with current industry requirements or the needs of customers.

**Skill maps** allow the company to navigate short-term needs related to current projects, such as predicting opportunities to win a tender using the existing teams in the company. Additionally, skill maps allow the creation of long-term strategies for major global goals.

### **Discovering Hidden Specialist Knowledge**

SkillPanel is also used to discover hidden competencies of employees that may be secondary to them but are very interesting and useful from the employer's perspective. This is important because it promotes the use of internal talents instead of investing time and capital in external contractors.

### **Three in One**

Tools such as team potential simulation and comparing subjective and objective assessments eliminate any biases regarding employee skills. This functionality ensures the effective design and implementation of career paths for employees, managers, and the company.
