Skills Map, Global

Leading organizations use Mercer Skills Map to incorporate customized, validated skills into their talent strategies quickly and efficiently. Here’s why:

• Streamlined. By leveraging our proprietary AI to automatically suggest job and skill mappings, you can quickly review, adjust, and validate skills for your unique job structure.
• Based on market data. We utilize industry-leading partner skill databases that constantly scan millions of online job profiles and descriptions to obtain the key skills information that informs Mercer Skills Library.
• Curated. Mercer experts curate our Skills Library, the foundation of Skills Map, to remove “noise” in the data and create meaningful structure, eliminating the need for you to dig through copious, minimally-structured databases.
• Up-to-date. We update our Skills Library regularly throughout the year to surface new and emerging skills and provide insights on how skills are changing, and which skills are becoming obsolete. Skills Library data refreshes are automatically incorporated into the Skills Map AI model to ensure you start with a baseline of skills that reflects the most up-to-date market demand insights.

Use Mercer Skills Map to:

• Receive skill mapping recommendations using our proprietary AI model to establish a baseline of skills relevant to your jobs;
• Customize the skills for each job;
• Assign proficiency levels to your skills for each job;
