DevSkiller's TalentBoost offers a unique experience for HR professionals and hiring managers to effectively track, map and analyze the skillsets of employees. The features that stood out to me was the skill mapping charts, the different categories of skills and the ability to generate a report of these information. As an HR professional, it is important for me to be able to see these skills in a quick overview but still be able to go on a deep-dive for each skill or for each employee and TalentBoost does a great job of giving me those options. I can see this having a huge impact in the decision-making process of hiring managers as to which employee should be given a promotion or which employee can excel in a different role within the company. Two of our highly valued philosophies - growth and change, hit by one stone that is TalentBoost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not see any downsides with the product except that it can be quite overwhelming to use it at first. It does take a little bit of time to get used to all the features but once you have that mastered, then it is like a walk in the park. I am also very excited to see what other developments and new features that the DevSkiller team can bring to the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The highest impact the tool has to offer is its potential to offer rich taxonomies accross a multitude of compentencies and skills used in different industries. I particulary liked the functionalities it has to offer, the report-builder, and the possibility to link the trainings or upskilling materials in the tool (for example, with coursera). Another upside is the friendly user-interface! The UI and UX of the tool made it easy for me to explore the tool on my own with a little help from the demo. During my earlier times of using the tool, I was in full contact with Justin who helped in the support of using the platform. With a proper implementation plan, the tool can easily integrate in existing processes of HR within an organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like any other tool, using a platform dependent on user input will result to bad data quality. If TalentBoost can also offer integration or standard implementation plans, I believe that could really set them apart from competition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciated the functionality of the system and the capabilities. I think there's a great opportunity for organizations who want to revamp their recruitment and retention efforts and can use DevSkiller to do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think there are opportunities for other integrations, including a 360 review. I worry that employees are able to submit a self-assessment without corroboration from superiors. Moreover, I think the interface could be a bit more user-friendly. But, I think once you get used to it, it would be workable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how this platform consolidates company-wide skills, often scattered across various overviews, Excel sheets, documents, and presentations, into easily digestible and user-friendly visual maps. It also identifies skill gaps and designs training programs to foster employee growth aligned with company needs. TalentBoost’s data insights assist HR and management in making informed decisions about training, staffing, budgets, and planning, driving smarter strategies.

Additionally, the platform streamlines onboarding by providing new hires with personalized learning paths and training modules tailored to their roles. In recruitment, TalentBoost enables recruiters and hiring managers to understand the specific skills and competencies required for various roles, leading to more accurate candidate matching and ensuring alignment across the organization. It also reduces the time needed to create job ads, as skill sets and competencies are already clearly defined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is actually nothing to dislike. However, potential upgrade could include an additional overview in the Career Path segment that highlights more clear potential lateral career progressions within the company, not just vertical paths. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DevSkiller is a very unique platform designed to help managers assess new employees, retrain their current and prepare them for higher positions within the organization.

Typically, you will find that hiring managers will use a number of systems to determine skill gaps, training needs, skills outstanding for the current position and those needed for succession planning. DevSkiller is compact with all these tools that gears both the manager and the employee, to professional development.

I paricularly love how the tabs integrate and an overall analysis can be given from the dashboard to determine the use of the platform by line managers and their employees. The Career tab was a favorite of mine as i have still been using my old designed Succesion Planning Model to track employees for future promotions. All tying this in with skill gap analyses and development plans. Well, DevSkiller had everything right there integrated to help the manager determine what technical and non-technical skills are needed for promotion, if the employee is ready and who may be the best fit for same.

It is a great app but the layout for each tab can be diferent and more user friendly. The design becomes redundant and if you are a systems manager, you know the impact this can have on improving the employee experience. It is a very functional software, easy to use if you are accustomed to systems; particularly HRMIS but needs to be more user friendly for all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really liked the self rating skills manager for workers feature which provides a more holistic assessment of skills not only from their manager but also the worker to gage where they think their skills are currently at compared to the rating of their manager. This functionality can produce better dialogue and understanding between worker and manager of where a workers strengths lie as well as areas for improvement.

DevSkiller leans more on the tech/developer side and the layout can be a bit overwhelming to find information as there is alot of features and functionality in the software which may or may not be so user friendly to non-technical HR professionals. The design and layout can be simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the subdivisions of each skill, the tool gives you both a high-level and detailed overview about the skills the employees are developing and they need to work on it which makes it very comprehensive. The tool gives an easy follow-up process for the employees who need to improve their technical skills in a way that mapping the missing areas and providing the data related to work-in-progress. It's also nice that both employees, managers and HR professionals can reach out these data to evaluate & manage the talent with the collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked the objective of the tool however I found it not user-friendly in terms of finding the information you're looking for, a bit difficult to learn and not easy to navigate the platform which makes it less efficient. On the other hand, while for technical skills the tool is very comprehensive and objective, it is not clear how to evaluate and test the soft-skills through the platform.

We've had hundreds of candidates who took our code challenges and tests on DevSkiller. The feedback we got from them has been overwhelmingly positive and we know that a positive candidate experience is critical to hiring the best talents and to improve or maintain our employer branding.

I really appreciate how easy it is to create new tests by mixing tasks and tests from DevSkiller's extensive test library. But the real power of DevSkiller is the ability to create your own tests and to provide a space to the candidates where they can write code, compile it, test it... It's even integrated with Git so candidates can use their favorite development tools on their local machine. In that case, you can see DevSkiller like a remote build server. It mimics perfectly the day to day experience of a software engineer working on a task, committing their work, pushing their code to Git and trigering a new build on their CI/CD pipeline.

As a hiring manager, the UI is a breeze and you can immediately identify the top candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike about the product itself.

For small organizations, the yearly pricing does not necessarilly match the reality of hiring waves followed by long months without any new openings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dev Skill is a talent management system and data repository where employees' technical skills are captured. It is a transparent way for employees to measure themselves as they are career mapping. Both employees and managers can see the skills needed to advance. Managers can tell employees what they need to advance. Managers and executives can know where they can dip into the talent pool to approach taent on certain technical skillsets.

It it farily easy and straightforard to use.

Dev skill is well resourced with customer support. Both telephone and virtual.

Dev skill is prety compatiable with many applicant tracking systems.

I love the opporunity where employees can upskill and test internally on the platform to validate skills and then become comptent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best use is for technical jobs and the assumtion that jobs have defined and clear job descriptions. Companies would need to consider investing time in making sure their job descriptions are accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can be beneficial for the Talent Management team. It can help you to save time and automate the recruitment process by:

- Forming a talent pool categorized by skills and ratings,

- Ensure the right people are matched with the right opportunities.

- Providing various analytics on employee fit for selected positions.

- Offering support with technical interviews and testing to validate candidates' technical skills.

Moreover, if you are still conducting skills assessments separately in Excel files, implementing TalentBoost can streamline and simplify this process, it will ensure a more accurate evaluation of skills and skillsets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Configuring the skills hierarchy and maintaining relevant data for accurate skills assessment and testing processes could potentially require manual effort from the HR team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
