Build the foundation
Start with the organisation’s existing skills framework or tailor Virkware’s out-of-box starting point. Map baseline skills from employees’ current and past roles.
Skills Intelligence
Make workforce skills visible, useful and connected to opportunity
Virkware helps organisations establish a shared skills foundation, keep employee profiles useful with less manual effort, and apply skills across career pathways, internal gigs, mentoring, mobility, succession and learning.
Give employees greater visibility of opportunities relevant to the skills they have and want to build—while giving managers and HR a more practical view of capability across the organisation.

What is Skills Intelligence?
Turn a shared skills language into practical action
Skills Intelligence is a foundational capability within the Virkware AI-powered Internal Talent Marketplace. It is the practical use of workforce skills information to improve development, opportunity matching and talent decisions.
Virkware combines an organisation-specific skills framework with employee profiles, aspirations, feedback and marketplace activity so that skills become a basis for action rather than a static catalogue.
Clear AI boundary: Virkware does not currently claim to infer every skill automatically from all work activity. Its AI/ML is used primarily to recommend relevant content, opportunities and people.
From skills inventory to skills in action
A skills framework creates value when people can use it
Virkware connects three jobs that are often treated independently: establishing the foundation, keeping it useful and activating it across talent processes.
Keep it useful
Employees update skills and certifications. Gig feedback, skills-focused 360 reviews and approved learning information strengthen the profile over time.
Activate it
Use skills and aspirations to recommend pathways, gigs, mentors, learning and internal roles—and help managers identify relevant people.
Skills where decisions and development happen
One foundation across multiple talent processes
Skills are most useful when they help an employee discover a path forward and help the organisation act—not when they remain an isolated inventory.
Aspirations add direction: recommendations can reflect what an employee can do today and what could move that person towards a future goal.

How the skills picture stays useful
Strengthen workforce visibility with less manual effort
Currency comes from specific, governed update mechanisms rather than a claim that every skill is automatically inferred.
Organisation-specific framework
Use the organisation’s existing framework or a tailored Virkware starting point.
Role-based baseline
Map initial skills from employees’ current and past roles.
Profile updates
Employees can update skills and certifications as their capability develops.
Gig feedback
End-of-gig feedback contributes to cumulative ratings and updates relevant skills.
Skills-focused 360
Anonymous individual ratings contribute to the cumulative skills picture.
Learning information
Approved learning information can be reflected through connections or employee updates.
Value for people and the organisation
Help people see where their skills can take them
Employees can discover relevant opportunities, understand which skills may open a future direction and build evidence through learning, experience and feedback.
For managers and HR: discover capability beyond job titles, use a shared skills language across talent processes, and connect reskilling investment with pathways, work and future roles.
Where it matters: organisation-wide reskilling, AI and digital transformation, skills-based organisation, redeployment and post-merger integration.
