Skills-based hiring, in the Personio you already run.
Nothing to migrate. Agents read your Personio, understand what every candidate can actually do, and write shortlists back, with the evidence attached.
Your Personio knows people, not skills.
Rich employee data that never reaches hiring decisions: skills invisible at the vacancy.
Internal mobility is manual: no skills-based matching over the workforce you already have.
Screening by CV keywords: strong people get filtered out, and there’s no evidence behind the shortlist.
What you actually get.
Ranked shortlists, in your ATS
Every open vacancy gets a ranked shortlist written back where you already work, every name with the evidence behind it.
A rubric per vacancy
Each vacancy read into the skills the work actually needs, agreed with you and applied the same way to every applicant.
Your whole base, skills-searchable
Everyone who ever applied becomes searchable on what they can do. Your best sourcing channel, lit back up.
This is the playbook.
Everything that enters your organisation, on the back of the box: the programs, the agents, the rules they work under, and where it lands. The blank page is the trap; the playbook is the head start.
The shape: scoped in one conversation · live in weeks · then it runs. We do this so often it’s weeks, not months.

How the skills engine works →The engine
Running under every playbook.
- Skills
- A taxonomy the size of the real labor market, with proficiency, not tags.
- Memory
- Your people-world, held with provenance: every fact carries its source, timestamp and confidence.
- Market intelligence
- Salary, scarcity and demand on your open roles.
- Psychometrics
- Validated instruments, consistently scored. No AI psychoanalysis, ever.
More on the shelf.
Straight answers.
No. Personio stays the system of record; the intelligence arrives inside it.
Employee data, departments and org structure, in sync.
Against a rubric drafted from the vacancy itself. Skills are evidence-extracted, never keyword-matched, and every score carries its why.
That’s the point: your whole historic base becomes skills-searchable for every new vacancy.
An upfront delivery fee sized to the solution, plus a monthly platform fee. No per-seat games, no surprise integrations line. Numbers land in the scoping conversation, on your case.
Evidence on every name: “show me why” is a click.
No automated decisions: your people keep every call.
Your data stays yours: exportable, always.
