Jill Barth's recent article highlights a common challenge for organizations: understanding the full range of skills employees and candidates bring to the table. Employee engagement is critical to building accurate skills profiles, but it’s not always easy to achieve. At Topgrading, we’ve built a process that goes beyond resumes and surface-level interviews to uncover a candidate’s full range of skills, experiences, and potential. Here’s how our approach helps organizations: 1. We uncover hidden strengths and niche skills that often go unnoticed. 2. We help leaders pack their teams with high performers. 3. We ensure teams are ready to adapt to changing demands. Knowing what your employees can do - beyond their job description - is essential for preparing for the future.
