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.
Note
If you've migrated to Talent Intelligence Hub, you are able to search by ratings, skills, and competencies. The section is labeled Ratings & Attributes.
Searching by Competencies/Attributes
It’s easy to add competencies into 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.
Searching by Ratings
You can select from six rating options to use in your search criteria:
- Competency
- Objective
- Performance
- Potential
- Custom 1
- Custom 2
Once you select the rating from the Ratings & Competencies dropdown list, you have the option to specify start and end dates as part of the filter. Then select your From rating and your To rating.
Once all of your rating and competency criteria are selected, choose Search to run the Talent Search.
