Use Pro to gain insights into your organization’s skill inventory so that you can highlight your strengths, identify areas of improvement and plan for the future. Your current project management platform can be integrated into SkillsHawk Pro to give you up-to-the-minute updates on your employee’s tasks and upgraded skills. Add more data sources such as a skill spreadsheet or project history to gain that much more knowledge on your team’s capabilities. 

You can even use SkillsHawk Pro as a part of your Slack communications. Looking for a certain skill set while in a team discussion? Use our integration to search for those skills in real-time and share the results with the rest of your team without having to leave Slack. 

With SkillsHawk Pro, you also have the added Human Resources benefit of a Skill Gap Analysis and the ability to plan for succession. This will help protect your organization from losing valuable skills from employees unexpectedly leaving or going through retirement. Plan your training and recruitment around the information found in your Comprehensive Skill Inventory.
