Skills with levels, requirements per rank, and a score that comes out of them
A competency framework: skill types and levels, a description per level, requirements per rank with weights, and each employee measured against them.
HR Skills Framework (technical name viin_hr_skill_framework) is an Odoo 17.0 app for Odoo Community and Odoo Enterprise and Viindoo Cloud, built for hr, manager, employee, recruiter.
At a Glance
The facts of HR Skills Framework, version 0.3.1, in one place. Published by Viindoo.
Key Features
Odoo's skills are tags on an employee: a name and a level with no meaning attached. What a company needs is the other direction - what does this rank require, at what level, and how far is this person from it. This app builds that: skill types with ordered levels, a description per skill-and-level combination saying what that level actually means, requirements per rank marked required or preferred and weighted, and job positions carrying their own. From there each employee's skills are compared with what their rank requires and aggregated into a competency score, and the job dashboard shows what a position needs before anyone is hired into it.
Job positions
Positions with the ranks and requirements attached to them.
How It Works
Four screens.
What a rank requires
Required and preferred, each at a level and with a weight - which is what makes a score possible.
What each level means
One description per skill and level, so 'Advanced' means the same thing to two managers.
The skills themselves
Grouped by type - languages, technical, soft skills - with their own ordered levels.
And on the employee
The skills a person has, measured against what their rank requires.
What You Get
Skill types, skills and ordered levels with a progress value
A description per skill level - what it means to be at it
Requirements per rank: required or preferred, each with a weight
Requirements per job position too
A competency score aggregated from the requirements and the employee's skills
A job positions dashboard built from the framework

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.
Someone still has to say what level a person is at; the app holds the scale.
Reviews and objectives belong to the appraisal app; this is the framework they measure against.
Courses attach through Training by Rank and are followed in eLearning.
Every requirement defaults to one - a scoring model is a decision, not a default.

Recruiter

Frequently Asked Questions
What does HR Skills Framework do?
A competency framework: skill types and levels, a description per level, requirements per rank with weights, and each employee measured against them.
What does HR Skills Framework not do?
It does not assess anybody. Someone still has to say what level a person is at; the app holds the scale. It is not an appraisal cycle. Reviews and objectives belong to the appraisal app; this is the framework they measure against. It does not deliver training. Courses attach through Training by Rank and are followed in eLearning. Weights are yours to set. Every requirement defaults to one - a scoring model is a decision, not a default.
Who is HR Skills Framework for?

Job positions in the All-in-one Enterprise Management software is a position at work, based on the actual operating system of the company that employees undertake. For example, Sales Manager, Purchasing Employee, Accountant,... Similar to reality, on software, attaching employees to a position is extremely important and necessary, helping to clarify tasks, jobs, work functions as well as employees' rights in the company.
The employee rank is automatically determined by the system by combining the employee's role and grade.

In the Applicable Job Positions tab, you can select the position for this employee rank.
