Role plus level equals rank - and the rank knows what comes next
Every combination of role and level is a record with its own skill requirements, job positions and people - linked into a ladder, so each rank points at the one above it.
HR Employee Rank (technical name viin_hr_rank) is an Odoo 17.0 app for Odoo Community and Odoo Enterprise and Viindoo Cloud, built for hr, manager, employee, recruiter.

What This App Does Not Do
Read this before you buy. Everything below is something the app deliberately leaves to another app or to you.
The rank is computed, not chosen.
It follows the role and the grade; the way to change somebody's rank is to change one of those.
It does not run promotions.
There is no promotion workflow - a grade change is what moves someone, and it is tracked.
It does not set salary.
A rank is the anchor a band is attached to, in payroll or in your contract data.
Skill scoring needs the skill framework.
Requirements and competency aggregation come from the Skill Framework app, which this builds on.
One rank per employee.
Dual-ladder careers are modelled by the role that leads.

Instruction
Instruction video: HR Employee Rank
1. Active developer mode (debug) and create employee ranks in Employee software.
Go to Employees > Configuration > Ranks > Create, and the system automatically identifies the ranks by the combination between the employee roles and levels.
For example, your company has a role named Design Specialist and Junior and Senior levels, so with the combination of them, we will have the following roles:
- Design Specialist | Junior.
- Design Specialist | Senior.
2. Employee ranks in the employee profile
Go to Employees > Employees > Hr settings tab to see the additional fields:
- Current Rank: the employees' current rank which is updated automatically based on their current roles and levels.
- Next Targeted Rank: the employees' target rank based on the next level of employees that needs to be achieved.
