There are certain milestones as a business when you have to stop for a second and reflect. For us, we have reached a staggering 20 million skills assessed on the Skills Base platform — which is growing by the week. 

It’s evident that teams and organizations require a better way to manage skills — and spreadsheets simply don’t cut it. Also with markets moving the way they are there has never been a more important time to focus on the people that matter most:

• How do we develop people in the right way?
• How do we allocate people to work that makes sense to them, and the customer?
• How do we retain people by delivering an exceptional human experience?
• How do we acquire the right skills into roles not from external sources, but through internal mobility?

The Answer? By understanding, measuring and acting on skills.

Kicking things off, welcome to the team!

As our product and customer base grow, we’re also happy to grow the team with it. A warm welcome to: 

• Daniel (Danny) Jaoude has come on board as a customer success manager supporting our many European Customers. 
• Marc Luvshis  has come on board as a customer success manager supporting our North American customers. 
• Nathaniel (Nate) Rogers joins us as a new software engineer out of Australia.

And without further ado, here’s a bunch of the features we’ve released to the Skills Base platform over the last 6 months. 

PS. We’ve also created a new page to document changes to the Skills Base platform. Head across and check it out.
