TL;DR - SkillGuru Story

  • Challenge: Complex staffing requests (“Who’s 50% available, knows Python & Change Management?“)
  • Problem: Manual matching doesn’t scale with company growth
  • Solution: SkillGuru combines data sources + AI to automate matching for decentralization of knowledge for a scalable and AI-powered idea geaneration
  • Result: Transparent skill landscape for better staffing decisions

The matching should help create ideas. It can not replace talking to each other 🤝


Background

The SkillGuru is our AdEx helper to bring transparency into our skill landscape and effectivtively leverage it to:

  • Find the right projects for our colleagues fitting their strengths
  • Explore development paths
  • Uncover capabilities we might not see at first sight

One question that triggerd it all:

Who is available with 50 % of the time from June to August and has the skills “Change Management”, knows “Python” and can handle multiple complex Stakeholders

Something like this encouters us every day. Combining the background knowledge currently resides with our brilliant staffing team.

But we grow rapidly. How could we scale this?

We do not have an integrated way of combining our data sources.

And in addition we are just at the tipping point of delving into the vast and complex, yet, if done right, powerful world of skills.

How does it work?

Data Integration & algorithmic power

The SkillsGuru is integrating and curating multiple data sources into one database.

  • Salesforce
  • Personio
  • flowcase (f.k.a. CV Partner)
  • External Skill Data

Additionally, we leverage GenAI and sophisticated algorithms to uncover best matches for staffings, skill relations to avoid need for 100%-accurate searches, skill inference, and more.
