hilighter

Hilighter is a skills management platform from SkillsBoard SAS, a French company. It maps the skills each job role requires, records the skills employees gain, and supports skill development planning. The product is a Talent Intelligence platform that applies AI suggestions to workforce skills data. Managers and employees review and validate those suggestions.

Key Capabilities

• Job & Skills Mapping: AI analyzes job roles, proposes the competencies each role requires, and builds skills matrices by role, level, and team focus.
• Skills Evidence & Recognition: Training, self-directed learning, and achievements are converted into suggested skills and skill levels. This applies to courses and hands-on experience alike.
• Manager Assessments: AI proposes the skills and levels gained through training and achievements. Managers review, adjust, and validate them before they are recorded.
• Skills & Talent Insights: Users can explore workforce skills, view skills matrices, find skill gaps, match people to roles, and identify talent.
• Personalized Growth Paths: Users select the skills to develop, and AI suggests learning resources and exercises from the web. Users can also add their own activities, and the skills gained are then documented through Skills Evidence & Recognition.
• Employee & Team Management: Employee profiles, teams, and skills are managed in one application.
• AI Job Impact: This free analysis gives an indicative view of how AI may change an organization's job roles, tasks, and skills, and how to prepare teams for new roles. It is currently available in English.
• AI output in Hilighter is advisory. Employees and managers review, adjust, and validate suggestions, and decisions about people stay with people.

Audience & Use Cases

• Audience: Small and medium-sized businesses, NGOs and social organizations without large HR teams, and departments within larger companies. Business and department leaders use the platform alongside HR.
• Use Case: Organizations can start with a few key roles and skills, then expand. Typical scenarios include building a skills matrix for a job role, recording skills gained from training, identifying skill gaps within a team, and planning individual development.
