New, one of its kind web-based applications is set to allow HR tech enterprises and HRIS users to finally take advantage of the big data revolution. It's now offered at Its Your Skills.

1. Its Your Skills Launches Never-Before-Seen Innovation to Reinvigorate the
Talentscape
It’s Your Skills, the innovative leaders in talent analytics and intelligence, specializing in
developing on-demand web apps to aid individuals and organizations, has launched a new
solution that could take the talent landscape by storm.
The Chennai-based enterprise is pioneers in engaging talent through innovation in human
resources. Their newly launched ‘Skills Library and Profiling engine’ is a web-based service that
offers HR tech companies and organizations that are already utilizing human resources
information systems (HRIS) a versatile and effective tool for mapping an individual’s skills. This
in turn, will enable companies to identify and retain the right talent for their business needs,
which could have a positive knock-on effect in terms of business performance.
HR has historically not been part of the big data discussion but this is an era where data,
analytics and statistics are as important to HR as any other department or function. The
challenge has been – and continues to be – having data in a standardized format. But this is
where the Skills Library and Profiling engine comes in to its own.
As a web-based service, it does not disrupt existing platforms or HRIS. The API – available in
both Mashape and GitHub allows for enhanced flexibility to build applications and take skills
data from the Skills Library and Profiling engine. It also enables complete customization.
The first component – the Skills Library – is an exhaustive lexicon of more than 100,000 tangible
functional/technical skills that covers almost every function and domain. Each is organized in a
manner that enables users to more effectively map the skills of staff and potential employees in
a comprehensive manner. In addition, the range of skills is continually updated both dynamically
and via human intelligence ensuring new and emerging skills are not overlooked.
The Skills Profile is an advanced application allowing for the mapping of skills and proficiencies
in a standardized format. This is something currently lacking in the talent space, where staff and
potential new employee details are collated in a variety of formats including resumes, job
descriptions and professional profiles. The Skills Profile effectively ‘sits on top’ of the Skills

2. Library, enabling users to quickly and easily create their own skills profile through a user-friendly
interface.
While the back end is a large, complex menu of skills with considerable functionality enabling
organizations to create job descriptions, employee talent profiles and staff self assessment tools
– the front end has been specifically developed to provide an easy user experience.
G Ramu, CEO at It’s Your Skills explained: “From our exhaustive research, we identified that
most HRIS lack comprehensive skills-centric modules for effective talent management. We
wanted to create something that enhanced these HRIS.”
“The Skills Library and Profiling engine can be used to create modules on skill-based job
descriptions, resource deployment, talent inventory, skills analytics and more besides. It also
perfectly complements existing HRIS solutions,” continued Ramu.
