A Skills-Based Organization to Hire, Develop and Retain the Talent of the Future

Skills mapping and assessment across the entire employee lifecycle, translated into more accurate hiring, more roles filled internally and stronger retention, with a measurable impact on business results.

Building blocks

Skills Are the Building Blocks of Jobs

Leading organizations use skills to break down and rebuild jobs and to adapt quickly to change, gaining a competitive edge in the future world of work.

  • Shared core skills
  • Role-specific skills
  • Skills added when moving between roles

The difference

Traditional vs. Skills-Based Organization

Hiring
Traditional organizationHiring based on degrees, past experience and job titles. The candidate pool is limited to people who have already done the same job.
Skills-based organizationHiring based on proven skills. The pipeline expands to candidates from adjacent fields and to populations that weren’t considered before.
Internal mobility
Traditional organizationRoles are defined by grades and departments. Internal mobility is slow and relies on personal connections.
Skills-based organizationWhen roles are defined by skills, every employee can see which other roles they already fit. Many more mobility paths open up for them, and the organization can fill far more roles internally instead of hiring externally.
Retention
Traditional organizationA single, vertical promotion track. Employees who can’t see their next step look for it outside the organization.
Skills-based organizationMany diverse career paths, lateral and vertical, built on the skills each employee already brings.
Adapting to change
Traditional organizationFixed jobs that are rarely updated.
Skills-based organizationJobs that are broken down and rebuilt to match business needs, with targeted upskilling and reskilling programs.
AI transformation
Traditional organizationIt’s hard to tell which tasks and roles AI is changing, and which employees need training. Adoption stalls at the pilot stage.
Skills-based organizationThe skills map shows exactly which skills AI replaces, augments or creates in every role. The organization trains and redeploys people in a targeted way, adopts AI faster and becomes more efficient.

How it works

Three Steps to Becoming a Skills-Based Organization

1Step one

Mapping Current and Future Jobs and Skills

The output is a profile for each job family, detailing the knowledge, skills, experience, values, motivations and behaviors that matter most, plus a skills map with the required level for every role.

Internal knowledge

Analysis of job descriptions and the organization’s knowledge sources, such as the HR system.

External benchmark

Our AI scans the largest job boards in Israel and worldwide and extracts the most in-demand skills for each job family.

Future trends

Insights from leading analyst reports: Gartner, World Economic Forum, Josh Bersin.

Assessing Employees’ Skills

Every employee is assessed on skills from the organization’s skills map, which shows not only their fit for their current role but also for other roles across the organization.

Assessments are modular: choose the combination that fits your organization and population.

From skills to business results

From a Skills Model to Bottom-Line Impact

We measure the impact in financial terms. HR goes to leadership with numbers that show how much the shift to a skills-based model has saved and earned for the organization.

Lower hiring costs

Every role filled internally saves the cost of external hiring, onboarding and time to productivity.

Additional internal hires × hiring and onboarding cost

Lower attrition costs

Visible career paths reduce turnover among strong employees, and every departure avoided saves a replacement cost.

Departures avoided × replacement cost per employee

Productivity gains

Employees in roles that match their skills reach full productivity faster and perform better.

Performance gap vs. a control group × output value

Targeted training budget

Investment goes to the gaps that actually exist instead of broad training for everyone.

Budget redirected from unnecessary training
