Everything you need to understand your team
From AI-powered conversations to interactive skill mapping, SkillDrill gives you a complete picture of your workforce capabilities.
AI Conversations
Natural, adaptive conversations that go beyond tick-box assessments to uncover skills traditional methods miss.
Skill Explorer
Interactive bubble chart visualisation. Click any skill to see who has it and at what level. Build teams instantly.
Smart Teams
AI-powered team analysis identifies strengths, gaps, and recommends optimal team compositions for any project.
Concern Flagging
If someone discloses a professional concern during a conversation, the system flags it for review. Custom keyword monitoring with escalation workflows.
Skills-based Applications
Share a public link where candidates have a short AI conversation to surface real skills, then get auto-tagged by fit for you to shortlist. No CV hunting, no account overhead.
Career Pathways
Define progression routes with prerequisites. Staff see pathways matched to their skills and can express interest for development planning.
Why conversations, not questionnaires?
Traditional forms and surveys capture what people remember to write down. AI conversations uncover what people actually know.
Traditional questionnaires
-
Fixed questions
Everyone gets the same rigid list. No follow-ups, no exploration of unexpected expertise.
-
Surface-level answers
Tick boxes and dropdowns capture labels, not depth. You learn someone knows Excel but not that they built a forecasting model.
-
Low completion rates
Long forms feel like a chore. People rush through or abandon them halfway.
-
Hidden skills stay hidden
If it's not on the form, it's not captured. Transferable skills, volunteer experience, and languages are missed entirely.
SkillDrill conversations
-
Adaptive follow-ups
The AI asks intelligent follow-up questions. Mention project management and it explores which methodologies, tools, and team sizes you've worked with.
-
Real depth and context
Captures proficiency levels, years of experience, and real examples automatically. Not just skill names.
-
People actually enjoy it
A natural chat takes 5-10 minutes and feels like a conversation with a colleague, not a compliance exercise.
-
Discovers what you didn't ask for
Languages spoken, volunteer work, transferable skills from previous careers. It surfaces expertise a form would never capture.
Organisations using SkillDrill typically uncover dozens of skills per person. Far more than any traditional audit, form, or spreadsheet has captured for them.
How it works
Three simple steps to unlock your team's full potential.
Set Up Questions
Create custom question sets or use templates. AI generates natural conversation prompts automatically.
AI Interviews Your Team
Team members have natural, adaptive conversations. The AI probes deeper where it finds expertise.
Explore & Act
Explore skills visually, build targeted teams, identify gaps, and make data-driven workforce decisions.
Security isn't an afterthought
Every byte of data in SkillDrill is protected with AES-256-GCM encryption and per-tenant isolation. Security was built into the foundation, not bolted on afterwards.
AES-256-GCM Encryption
All personal data encrypted at rest with tenant-specific keys. The same standard used by governments and banks.
Per-Tenant Isolation
Every organisation's data is completely isolated. Separate encryption keys, separate access controls, zero cross-tenant exposure.
Full Audit Trail
Every action logged and traceable. SSO via Microsoft Entra ID. GDPR compliant with data export and deletion tools.
AI you can trust
We believe AI should be transparent, ethical, and always under human control. Here's our commitment.
Your Data Stays Yours
Data never leaves the platform. Never sold, never shared, never used for advertising.
Human Oversight Always
AI assists and augments decisions. Humans always have the final say on every insight and profile.
No Training on Your Data
Your conversations are never used to train AI models. Strict data processing agreements enforced.
Full Transparency
Open AI policy. You can see exactly how AI is used, what data is processed, and what controls exist.
Your AI. Your keys.
Your choice.
SkillDrill doesn't lock you into a single AI provider. Connect your own API keys, choose your model, and keep full control. Your data goes directly to your chosen provider; we never proxy, store, or see your API traffic.

Insights & ideas
Practical thinking on workforce strategy, skills mapping, and getting more from the team you have.
Why your skills directory belongs inside Microsoft Teams, not next to it
Every organisation has a skills directory somewhere - a SharePoint list, a Notion page, an HR module no-one opens. The reason it rots is the same reason a Teams-native skills directory works: people only use the tools they are already in. A walk-through of the four Teams surfaces that turn skills mapping from an HR exercise into a habit.
Need a German speaker in 30 seconds? Here is how a comms room actually finds one
Every UK police force has the language skill somewhere on the rota. The problem is finding it before the call goes cold. A walk-through of the old way (phone tag, hope) versus what a Teams-integrated skills directory does in two taps.
Your job description is not a skill spec - here is how to fix that
Most job descriptions are written to attract applications, not to filter them. That is why your ATS keeps surfacing the wrong candidates. The fix is to turn the ad copy into a real skill profile.
