"Optimise your team"

5/5

What do you like best about Skills Base?

Skills Base is a really simple tool to use when evaluating your teams skills. It helps identify gaps and gives you focus on where additional support needs to be placed. The holistic view on skills is realy cool. A great tool when building your team and wanting to ensure you optimise every team member. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skills Base?

Not a dislike but more of an additional idea. If you could take the data on where you lack skills and use AI to create job descriptions that could then be automatically posted to job boads - this would streamline the recruitment process as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Skills Base | The Skills Review Tool"

4/5

What do you like best about Skills Base?

1. Simple, fast and convenient user experience

2. Brilliant individualistic as well as holistic skills view for the user and the manager (one can compare one's skills performance with others having similar skills in the organization)

3. Superb reporting feature, which helps build a meaningful skills dashboard for the corporate leadership

4. Great value for money; with their pricing, it's a must-have, as it does more good to you than cost you!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skills Base?

1. Subjective skills rating, similar to subjective performance rating (managers' skills rating bias cannot be discounted). Revamp the review tool into a review-cum-assessment tool to evaluate skills objectively

2. Team structuring on the tool is complicated from the admin's point of view. Team labeling is based on the manager's name rather than on the practice/project/product/process name to ensure data privacy; this leads to multiple changes on the tool as practice/project/product/process is more stable and less susceptible to change than people managers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Skills Base solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are building skill levels in product research, product development, product management and product support, among other things, in the cloud space. Hence, the new knowledge and skill base make it critical to constantly monitor skill engagement and proficiency to ensure an incremental increase in the skill index (and also that we are not falling back in our engagement with our customers). The tool helps us identify the skill gaps to curate learning offerings that will bridge that gap internally. This further converges time, effort, and money to be focused on actual and real-time learning and development needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a dislike per se but would love to see API support from Skills Base relative to exporting Skills and using this to build skills profiles in 3rd party systems

Also would love to see functionality that allows the user to import Individual Learning Plans and track progress of these plans via the app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Skills Base: The Simple, User-friendly , Value for Money Skills and Learning Management Tool"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Skills Base?

1. simple, quick, and convenient to use, As a user, you don't need to spend time learning how to use it because it's so straightforward.

2. The reporting feature is good and provides a good insight on the overall skill composition of a team or an individual.

3. The Learning integration is quite simple and can work with any existing LMS, the logic for content recommendation is also very straightforward and works flawlessly.

4. Quick Support Turnaround: The support staff is excellent; if you ever need assistance, I'm confident you'll get it all the same day.

5. Excellent value; at this price, you just must have it because it allows you to quickly and affordably discover the team's learning needs and skills gaps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skills Base?

1. Lack of support for multiple team allocation to users: In some situations, a user may be a member of more than one team; however, this cannot be tracked in the skills base.

2. Need for additional easily accessible simple reports: Administrators and supervisors have access to some information on the team dashboard (Most Skilled , Most Interested, Top Skill, Top Intrest, Top Qualification etc), but those details cannot be included in straightforward reports. If such information could be downloaded via a simple report as well, that would be incredibly beneficial.

3. The reports can have more crisper; for instance, the capability matrix report will extract data for the selected role but will also spam the report with other roles blank details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Skills Base solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. Associate Enablement and Development: The only way to enable our workforce is to get an insight into what they know identify the gaps and enable them by addressing those gaps.

2. From a Business perscpective, it gives us a insight into our teams skill composition and helps us to address these shortcomings by making a strategic decision on training and hiring efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Skills Base is a great tool if..."

4/5

What do you like best about Skills Base?

I really like that we are able to load several different roles with targets by role.

It was also super helpful to be able to load several different skills (over 200) with multiple hierarchy levels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skills Base?

What I find hardest to do is keep teams and managers set up and get users to take their assessments and update them periodically. This isn't really a system limitation, just something to keep in mind if you have a sizeable organization - who will manage the admin of the site? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Skills Base solving and how is that benefiting you?

Skills Base provides a central location for all of our organization to track their skills and competencies. They can match their level against a target for role and identify gaps to work on with their manager. And it allows our center of excellence to determine where the org has a whole needs extra training that we can coordinate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good value for money, and helps us skill up our team"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Skills Base?

We found Skills-Base easy to use, and we like how easy it is for our staff to self-assess. We initially used it for our tech team, but are now rolling it out across the whole business. I'd definitely recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skills Base?

Some parts of the interface feel a little old-fashioned. The process for updating the number of licenses and paying invoices, etc. is also fairly manual. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Skills Base solving and how is that benefiting you?

Skills base helps us to track both the skills that our staff have, and the skills they most enjoy or want to have. It is great when doing 1-to-1s and appraisals, and helps us plan resource for projects.

I would just love it if they would do the same thing but for tracking customer and project requirements. So that we can then match people to projects automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skills Base?

Not much...

There is a learning curve involved in designing your custom skill model. However, that step is important for ensuring your model reflects your organization's culture, strategy, and practices. In Skills Base, it's easy to quickly configure a working model and then make iterative improvements over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Skills Base solving and how is that benefiting you?

Skill shortages plague many modern industries. Skills Base is the most efficient means of identifying, measuring, and resolving skill gaps available on the market today.

It's ideal for organizations that want to foster cultures of empowerment, transparency, and accountability. I use it to upend traditional skill development practices, encouraging employees to take ownership of their developmental paths and managers to make leveraged investments in their people.

5/5

What do you like best about Skills Base?

Flexibility of the toolset, guidance information from the site and team, professional consulting, pricepoint is so helpful, and willingness by the support team to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skills Base?

Not much, to be honest. Even the enhancements I have asked for - skill pathing and others - were already on the roadmap. And my Account Manager is 12 hours away and still responsive 24 hours a day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
