Employee skills, education, and certifications
NexerIQ can hold a richer professional profile for each employee — the skills they have, where they studied, and the certifications they hold. This is useful for staffing the right people on a job, tracking expiring credentials, and keeping a tidy record of qualifications. These panels appear on an employee's record when the matching feature is switched on for your company, so if you don't see a tab, ask your administrator to enable it.
Where to find them
Open People → Employees, select a person, and go to the Professional profile tab. Inside it you'll find sub-tabs for Education, Certifications, Career, and Skills, each showing a count of the records on file.
Adding skills
- On the Skills sub-tab, choose a skill from the list, set a Proficiency level, and optionally enter Years of experience.
- Click Add skill to add it to the table. You can adjust proficiency and years inline, or remove a row.
- Click Save changes to keep your edits.
Recording education
- On the Education sub-tab, click Add education.
- Enter the Institution, Qualification, optional Field of study and Level, and the Start date and end date.
- Save. Each entry shows in a table with its institution, qualification, level, and period.
Tracking certifications
- On the Certifications sub-tab, click Add certification.
- Enter the certification Name, Issuer, and optional Credential ID, issue date, and expiry. Mark it as not expiring if it never lapses.
- Save. The table shows the name, issuer, credential, dates, and a Verification status, with a link out to the credential where one is provided.
Use the pen button to edit any entry and the trash button to remove one. Each panel shows a friendly empty message until you add your first record.
Tip — keep certification expiry dates up to date so you can spot credentials that are about to lapse before they affect a job or a compliance check.
