domain in the Worker Profile and Skills functional area.
Skill profiles provide an easy way to organize qualifications for jobs and career paths. You can use skill profiles for reporting purposes to build a profile for a job or role. You can also use the qualifications of a skill profile as facets when you click
Find Workers
on the
View Skill Profile
report.
You can build skill profiles based on:
  • Certifications
  • Competencies
  • Education
  • Languages
  • Responsibilities
  • Skills
  • Training
  • Work Experience
Example: You frequently hire Customer Service Representatives and want to make it easier to create job requisitions. You create a Customer Service Representative skill profile specifying that candidates must have 2+ years of customer service experience, English and Spanish language comprehension, and advanced communication competency.
Workday doesn't support attaching skill profiles to job profiles or workers.
