Concept: Skills Verification
Workday can suggest skills to workers based on data from their worker profile, and you can enable workers to add sources of evidence on a skill.
Skill Suggestions
Skill suggestions make it easier for workers to find relevant skills based on their experience.
You can select the
Populate Suggested Skills for Workers
check box on the Maintain Skills and Experience Setup
task to enable the suggested skills background job. Workday runs the background job hourly every day and suggests Skills Cloud skills based on a worker's:
- Completed learning courses
- Completed projects
- Job history
- Public anytime feedback
- Skills
Position History for Skill Suggestions and Verification
on the Maintain Feature Opt-Ins
report.Workday displays up to 10 skills in the
Suggested Skills
section on the Edit Skills
task. The skill suggestions refresh and improve each time a worker adds a skill.Workday doesn't suggest skills based on a worker's Certifications. Workers can manually select Certifications that contribute to skills on their worker profile.
Skill Sources
Workers can verify their skills by adding sources of evidence, such as their:
- Certifications
- Completed flex teams with a skill endorsement
- Completed learning courses
- Completed projects
- Job history
- Position history
- Public anytime feedback
- Skill endorsements
- Skill ratings
Once you enable skill suggestions, you can set up security for skill sources. In addition to the skill sources domains, users must have access to the corresponding domains of each skill source. Users can click a skill to access either the
Edit Skill Sources
task or View Skill Detail
report, depending on their security access. Workday automatically selects a skill source for a skill if a worker adds a suggested skill that Workday based on a skill source.
