Overview
Every staffer added to Foresight Connect has a profile where their skills, experience, time off history, and other personal details are stored. Managers can use the data on their staff profiles to decide who should work on which projects. If staffers comprehensively fill out the data in their profiles, managers can build teams with the right people quickly and start their projects. For you, this means a chance for more exciting work and assignments to projects that will allow you to pursue your professional goals.
Browsing Skills from a Given Category
When you complete your profile, you will notice that some phrases will appear in pairs, e.g., Frontend/CSS. The phrase on the left (in this example, Frontend) is the category/group the skill falls under.
A skill tree can be uploaded under the layer visible to the user to make adding skills for an organization more efficient. Each skill can be categorized, making searching for skills in specific groups much easier.
Are you looking for skills within one group? Enter a group name, such as “frontend” or “backend”. The list of available skills will be limited to this specific group, so you can still browse skills or technologies only related to the front end.
FAQ Section
Can I add a skill that I don't find on the list?
Of course! To do this, press the +Add button in the search list. A pop-up window will appear, allowing you to enter the name of the custom skill you added.
Can I add a skill group?
Unfortunately, employees do not have such permissions. You can add a skill but not assign it as a category or group. Only managers can add new skill groups.
What do the stars next to skills mean? How should I interpret them?
Stars are the rating system set by default. If your organization has used a different skill rating system, ask your manager what method you adopted in Foresight Connect.
Can I change the way my skills are assessed?
Unfortunately, you cannot modify the scale to assess a technology's knowledge level. The scale will always be five stars. If you have any doubts about assessing the knowledge level of a given technology or skill, please contact your manager.
Can I add technology if it doesn’t exist on the list?
Yes. Just type it manually into the search bar. It will be added to the list of technologies automatically.
Can I add a new seniority level?
Only managers can add a new seniority-level type, which will then be accessible to everyone across the firm.
