Skills MapMapping & Verification

Your workforce skills, mapped automatically, without a survey.

Skills Map auto-extracts skills from CV, HRIS, and LinkedIn for every employee, then guides each person through a structured self-evaluation. In weeks, HR, IT, and business leaders have a living skills inventory they can trust, without running a single survey.

The problem

Skills data that’s wrong before it’s even used.

Most organisations have skills data somewhere. The problem is it was never accurate to begin with, and nobody has updated it since.

Self-reported and unverified

The skills in your HRIS are what employees entered on a form, what they wanted to claim, not what they can demonstrate. There is no verification layer.

A snapshot that ages immediately

Annual skill reviews take months to run. By the time results are ready, the person has changed roles, picked up new skills, or left. Every decision starts months out of date.

No complete inventory to work from

Without a full, current skills picture, you can’t identify gaps, match people to open roles, prioritise L&D investment, or answer the basic board question about workforce readiness.

Phase 1

Auto-mapping, three sources, one unified profile.

Skills Map extracts and reconciles skills data from every source you already have, without asking anyone to fill in a form.

CV and resume parsing

Upload or connect your ATS and HRIS to auto-parse every employee’s CV or resume. Skills are extracted, normalised against the 60,000+ taxonomy, and placed into the unified profile automatically.

PDF and DOCX · All languages · Deduplication built in

HRIS import

Connect your HRIS: Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Personio, Factorial, and 100+ others. Existing skills, roles, tenure, certifications, and org structure sync on first import and on a schedule thereafter.

100+ HRIS integrations · Bidirectional sync · Role and team hierarchy

LinkedIn profiles

Parse current role, previous experience, certifications, and endorsements from LinkedIn. Surfaces skills employees have that don’t appear in HRIS records, particularly tech skills and recent training.

Optional · Employee-initiated or HR-imported · Enriches the HRIS baseline

Three sources reconciled into one tracked inventory: skills, roles, certifications and people, all normalised to the taxonomy

Three sources reconciled into one living inventory, every skill normalised to the same taxonomy, every profile ready to benchmark.

Phase 2

Guided self-evaluation, validated in under 15 minutes.

Each employee sees their auto-mapped profile and completes a structured validation, not a blank form, a guided flow built on what the system already knows about them.

Confirm or adjust auto-extracted skills

The system shows what it found. The employee confirms, removes, or corrects. No starting from scratch, just validating what’s already there.

Rate current proficiency, 0 to 5

For each confirmed skill, the employee rates their level against the standardised 0 to 5 competency scale. These self-assessed levels become the baseline before verification.

Add skills the system didn’t detect

Free-text search against the 60,000+ taxonomy. Employees add skills from certifications, side projects, or recent work that didn’t appear in the CV or HRIS.

Flag skills in use versus historical

Mark which skills are used daily versus ones from a previous role. This separates active capability from historical experience, a distinction most skills data ignores entirely.

Under 15 minutes for most employees, because they validate and adjust an auto-mapped profile rather than build one from scratch.

A validated skill profile: core skills for the role, self-assessed and verified levels, and what each skill was verified by

Mapping and verification

Mapping is half of it. Then you verify.

Auto-mapping and self-evaluation give you an accurate baseline. Verification turns claimed skills into demonstrated ones, through AI Simulations, AI Interviews, and AI Labs.

AI Simulations

People take on a realistic 5 to 30 minute work scenario and are scored on the skills they actually demonstrate. Objective, evidence-based verification.

AI Interviews

A conversational interview captures context, motivation, and how people actually work, the qualitative signal a score alone cannot give you.

Workforce Intelligence: top verified and mapped skills, roles building expertise, and the org's areas of expertise, all on one shared taxonomy

One shared language across the org, so a gap on one team means exactly the same thing on every other.

A skills inventory ready for assessment: verified competency levels with cited evidence for what went well and what to improve
What you get

A skills inventory that powers everything else.

Skills Map is the foundation layer. Every other Anthropos product, assessment, development, workforce intelligence, runs on top of it.

Complete skills inventoryEvery employee has a unified profile, auto-mapped and self-validated, within 2 to 4 weeks of kickoff. No survey, no manual data entry.

Role benchmarking from day oneEvery profile is compared against the 18,000+ role benchmarks, so gaps are visible immediately, before any simulation runs.

One shared language for skillsCV data, HRIS exports, and self-assessments all resolve to the same 60,000+ taxonomy. No reconciliation, no manual mapping.

Ready for intelligence and assessmentThe input for Workforce Intelligence heat maps, AI Readiness scoring, and the verification flow that runs through AI Simulations.

Where it fits

Phases 1 and 2 of the 5-Phase Workforce Methodology.

Skills Map covers the first two phases, auto-mapping and guided self-evaluation, before any simulation or interview runs. Everything downstream depends on getting this foundation right.

1

Auto-map skills

CV, HRIS, and LinkedIn parsed into one unified profile.

2

Guided self-evaluation

Each person validates and rates their skills in under 15 minutes.

3

AI Simulation assessment

Skills verified objectively in realistic work scenarios.

4

AI Interview

Qualitative signal on aspiration, context, and perceived friction.

5

Analysis and reporting

One integrated view for the person and for the organisation.

Skills Map is phases 1 and 2. You do not wait for full coverage to start: the map enriches progressively as self-evaluations complete and simulations run.

Common questions

What HR, IT, and business leaders ask.

How long does it take to get a first skills map of our organisation?
Most customers have an initial skills map live within 2 to 4 weeks of kickoff, based on CV and HRIS auto-mapping alone, before any self-evaluations run. The map enriches progressively as employees complete their self-evaluation and simulations run. You don’t need to wait for 100% coverage to start making decisions.
What if our HRIS skills data is poor or incomplete?
That’s the common starting point. Skills Map doesn’t depend on your HRIS skills data being accurate. It uses CV parsing and LinkedIn to build the initial profile regardless, then uses the self-evaluation to fill gaps. Many customers find Skills Map provides more accurate data in 4 weeks than years of HRIS maintenance.
How much time does the self-evaluation ask of employees?
Under 15 minutes for most employees. Because the system already shows an auto-mapped profile based on their CV and HRIS data, employees validate and adjust rather than build from scratch. The guided flow is structured by skill category, so there’s no blank form to fill.
What’s the difference between a self-assessed skill and a verified skill?
Self-assessed skills show what the employee claims, their own rating of their proficiency. Verified skills are scored through an AI Simulation, an objective assessment of what the person can actually do in a realistic work scenario. Skills Map builds the self-assessed baseline; AI Simulations (Phase 3) add the verification layer on top.
Does Skills Map push data back into our HRIS?
Yes. Bidirectional sync is supported for 100+ HRIS systems. Verified skill levels from simulations can be written back to your HRIS on a schedule you configure. The skills taxonomy used for sync can be mapped to your existing HRIS skill codes during implementation.
