PRODUCT · SKILLSNAV
A real map of what your people can actually do.
SkillsNav interviews your workforce by AI voice (a natural spoken conversation, not a form) and turns those conversations into a structured skills inventory. From the inventory it finds the gaps against the roles you care about, maps who-knows-what across the org, and tells you what to train and who to hire.
Free-form speech in, structured analytics out. Know which knob to turn before you spend a training budget or open a req.
THE PROBLEM
Job titles are not capability.
Most organizations have no real map of the skills their workforce actually holds. HR systems track titles and certifications, not what people can do. So when you want to staff a new initiative, find where expertise concentrates, or decide whether a gap should be closed by training or by hiring, the honest answer is usually a spreadsheet built from guesswork.
Surveys get ignored. Manager assessments are subjective and don't scale. The signal is buried in noise, and you end up tuning the wrong knob.
WHAT TODAY LOOKS LIKE
- Capability tracked by job title, not by what people can actually do
- Skills surveys nobody fills in and nobody trusts
- Manager assessments that are subjective and never scale
- Train-vs-hire decisions made on a hunch, not a map
- No idea where critical expertise concentrates, or where it is one resignation from gone
HOW IT WORKS
Conversation in. Decision-ready analytics out.
SkillsNav is a two-surface product: an interview surface that assesses individuals, and an executive dashboard that aggregates everything into org-wide intelligence.
Interview by voice
A natural spoken conversation with each employee, not a survey. People talk; the AI listens and probes.
Build the inventory
Speech is normalized onto a shared taxonomy, so two people's answers map onto the same comparable skills inventory.
Find the gaps
Gap analysis against the roles and initiatives you care about, plus a who-knows-what map of where expertise actually lives.
Train or hire
Actionable recommendations: each gap maps to a specific course or a hiring profile, not generic advice.
TWO COORDINATED SURFACES
SURFACE · INTERVIEW
The interview app
Assesses individuals through a fluid spoken interview and returns each person their own skills profile. The surface employees touch: measured, conversational, never a chore.
SURFACE · DASHBOARD
The executive dashboard
Aggregates everything into org-wide analytics: campaigns, a skills library, reports, and cross-campaign trends for leadership. The surface that turns the inventory into decisions.
WHO IT IS FOR
Any organization that needs to understand its own workforce.
SkillsNav is white-label and multi-tenant by design. It was built with a corporate-training partner, where every gap maps straight onto that partner's own course catalog, but the same platform fits any enterprise weighing whether to train or to hire.
HR and L&D leaders get capability they can plan against. Executives get a defensible answer to where expertise lives and where it is thin.
THE HARD PART
What makes it different.
Free speech → comparable data
The core engineering: conduct a fluid spoken interview and reliably extract a normalized, comparable inventory, so two employees' answers land on the same taxonomy. Free-form speech in, structured analytics out.
Recommendations grounded in a real catalog
Train-vs-hire is only useful if it points at something actionable. Gaps map to a specific course catalog and to hiring profiles, never generic advice you can't execute on.
White-label, multi-tenant, multilingual
Re-skinnable per customer, runs many organizations, and interviews in more than one language, with a pathway to SOC-2 for enterprise procurement.
Two surfaces, one source of truth
Keeping the per-employee assessment app and the executive analytics app consistent over shared workforce data is a hard data-modeling problem. It is where most skills tools quietly fall apart.
