An employee's profile brings all of their skills together in one place, so you can see how they're doing at a glance. This guide explains what the Skills section shows, where each assessment comes from, and how to read the proficiency indicators.
Accessing employee skill profiles
Go to an employee's profile.
Click the Skills section tab.
Understanding the skills display
The profile shows the latest assessment for each of the employee's skills. Whenever a skill is assessed again, the profile updates to reflect the most recent result.
An assessment can come from three places, and all three feed the same profile:
An assessment on the profile, done directly by a manager or HR.
An assessment in reviews, carried over from a skill assessment question.
Because the profile always shows the latest result, the source doesn't change what you see: the most recent assessment wins, no matter where it happened.
📌 Note: To learn how each of these assessments is done, see Evaluating employee skills.
📌 Note: You can turn off showing skills evaluated in 1-on-1 reviews in Settings > Company Settings > Skills.
Proficiency information displayed
For each skill, the profile shows four things:
Skill name: the competency being measured.
Current proficiency: the latest assessed level.
Expected proficiency: the level expected for the employee's position, based on the connected skill mappings.
Performance indicator: a color showing how the current level compares to what's expected.
The performance indicator uses three colors:
🟢 Green: the employee is above the expected proficiency.
🔵 Blue: the employee is at the expected proficiency.
🔴 Red: the employee is below the expected proficiency.
Tip: Use these colors to spot patterns fast. Consistent green can signal someone ready for more responsibility, and red points to where development support would help most.
