We've all experienced the stress and frustration of applying for a new role, whether at a different company or our current one. Facing complex processes when trying to demonstrate our skills, prove we're perfect for the role, and have our abilities validated by leaders and peers.

But this challenge also impacts People teams and area leaders as they often struggle to identify team members ready for new roles, create succession plans, or determine whether to look for talent externally.

Today, I want to discuss how AI (and Everday) can now make this process smoother and more effective. What excites me most is that by implementing this process, we can help thousands of people and organizations uncover hidden talents, enabling team members to explore their full potential in roles they love. So let’s deep dive!

Everday AI Gems Seeker

How our system kickstarts the journey of exploring team members' talents:

1. Skills screening

Like a treasure hunt, our system analyzes your team members' resumes and matches the skills required for each role with the person's current capabilities. This process goes beyond simple keyword matching to understand the context of skills and experiences, ensuring no relevant detail is overlooked. It helps improve processes in:

• Efficiency: Process and evaluate a vast number of applications in a fraction of the time it would take for manual screening.
• Reduction of bias: Mitigate bias by making objective decisions based on predetermined criteria, ensuring a fair chance for everyone.
• Enhanced accuracy: By standardizing the language of skills across the whole organization, it excels in identifying relevant skills and qualifications, making the process more reliable than manual methods.

2. Real-time mapping

Now that we know how much of a match every member has with their current and future role, how can we help them develop their skills to be a perfect match?

• Identify gaps: Identify areas where your team needs improvement in a matter of minutes and showcase which are the most critical to learn first in order to have a fast track to achieve this upskilling faster.
• Automated Learning paths: Now that we have identified the gaps, AI is our best friend in creating personalized automated learning paths using different sources of content to make this process feel less generic.
• Peer learning: Let's also take advantage of those who have already mastered a specific skill and are open to sharing their knowledge with others. Additionally, this helps with collaboration processes and provides practical examples of how that skill is applied within the company.

3. Predictive analytics for future skills

And how do we make sure those gems keep always shining? AI's ability to forecast future skill needs based on industry trends helps us to proactively prepare team members for the challenges of tomorrow by:

• Future-proofing: Based on market trends, predict which skills will be in demand, allowing companies to develop these skills in advance.
• Strategic planning: Make data-backed decisions about hiring, training, and development based on predictive insights to make sure your team is always future-skill proof.

Preparing the route

Technology can, without a doubt, help us with a big part of the process, but here are some suggestions to ensure all your team is ready for this adventure:

1. Prepare the data

One of the advantages of AI is that there are many options to extract the initial data for analysis, whether it's resumes, LinkedIn, performance reviews, integrations, among others. Identify which source of information will provide the greatest initial visibility of your team.

2. Make skills a language

We know that several skills can sound confusing, which is why within Everday you can always see a description of them. Additionally, we help standardize the language of skills across the entire organization, so that everyone speaks the same language.

3. Showcase the benefits

Get buy-in from your team by highlighting how having their skills profile can boost their career development and uncover their hidden talents. This allows other leaders to have an up-to-date and transparent way to see their strengths for new job proposals.

Your team's future is so bright, you'll need shades
