Using Background and Competency Criteria for Ranking

Background and Competency criteria can be used to get a "best fit" ranking of Talent.

The options available in the Rating & Competencies section are based on your configuration in Talent Search Settings, including:

• Whether all ratings or only the latest ratings are searched.
• The rating scale labels are displayed.
• Which picker is used to choose competencies. The picker can support competencies, skills, or custom attributes depending on your configuration:
  • The competency picker under the Job Description Manager framework.
  • The capability picker under the Center of Capabilities framework.

Searching by Competencies/Attributes

It’s easy to add competencies to the Talent Search with a dropdown menu to choose competency libraries.

In the Ratings & Competencies section if you select Competencies, the Add Competencies screen opens. You can select the competency library from the dropdown first, then choose the competencies from that library. Once the competencies are chosen, they are added to the Talent Search criteria and a rating within those competencies can be chosen for the search.

To add competencies from multiple libraries, without closing the Add Competencies screen, simply choose another library from the dropdown and make your selections until you have added all the competencies you want to include in your search. When you choose another library, you see numbers listed next to each competency library, denoting how many competencies have been chosen for the search from that library.

If you’ve migrated to Talent Intelligence Hub, select Attributes from the Ratings & Attributes list. You can then select from both skills and competencies.

The key learning points of this lesson are:

• Talent Search Configuration requires searching in the "Ratings & Competencies" section depends on system settings, including whether the search pulls all ratings or the latest, the displayed rating scale labels, and the configured picker (Competency Picker via Job Description Manager or Capability Picker via Center of Capabilities). Migrating to Talent Intelligence Hub enables searches for both skills and competencies as "Attributes."
• Users can add competencies from multiple libraries using dropdown menus and select specific competencies with desired ratings to refine search criteria. For Talent Intelligence Hub users, searching can include both skills and competencies under the "Ratings & Attributes" framework.
• Search by ratings with the six customizable rating options—Competency, Objective, Performance, Potential, Custom 1, and Custom 2—can be filtered by date and value range, allowing granular control over search criteria for identifying the best-fit talent for projects or roles.
