Enrich Your Skills Library

From the 26A upgrade onward, the Skills Library Enrichment agent generates skill suggestions by leveraging free-form skills that are added to HCM in application flows such as Skills Center, Candidate Experience, and Talent Profiles. This enhancement is an efficient way to identify and curate new skills that are added in other areas of HCM and to also manage duplicate skills.

Self-service users, recruiters, and HR specialists might create free-form skills in HCM application flows that aren’t present in the Oracle Dynamic Skills Library, Lightcast Skills Library, or any existing custom library. These new skills are now added to an inactive skill catalog called Nonlibrary Skills. You can view this skill catalog from My Client Groups > Profiles > Item Catalogs.

The Skills Library Enrichment agent helps you to curate skills from the Nonlibrary Skills catalog and move them to the skill catalog of your choice. In upgrade 26A, the agent has been simplified with the removal of these fields on the configuration page:

• Include synonyms for skills
• Show in pending review if score more than
• Automatically approve if score more than

Instead, a field called Minimum usage count is available, which helps you curate nonlibrary skills that are repeatedly used across HCM application flows.

For example, let’s say an employee creates a developing skill in Skills Center (which isn’t present in any active skill library) and a manager creates the same skill in a new job profile. This skill will be added only once to the Nonlibrary skill catalog, with its usage count set as 2. When you run the Skills Library Enrichment agent, you can choose to select any nonlibrary skills that are used twice or more across various HCM application flows. Only these skills will be available for you to curate in the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that’s downloaded after the agent completes running. These skills will be moved to the target skill catalog that was specified while configuring the agent. Even if you don’t approve a skill in the downloaded spreadsheet, it’ll still be moved to the target skill catalog in Pending review status. If you search for it in Item Catalogs, it won’t be listed as part of the Nonlibrary Skills catalog anymore.

Note: If there were any skills in Pending review status from a previous run of this agent, those skills will also be present in the downloaded Excel sheet. The skills will show as being present in the target catalog that was selected as part of the previous run and continue to be in Pending review status.

Until the 25D upgrade, the Skills Library Enrichment agent leveraged the power of Oracle AI to help you enrich your skills library.

When this version of the agent is run, Oracle AI reads your existing skills library, understands your organization’s skills and qualifications requirements, and suggests new skills based on an analysis of these requirements. Each skill suggestion is assigned a confidence score based on the relevancy of the skill to your organization.
