Overview
Turn Incomplete Workforce Signals Into Calibrated Skill Proficiency Profiles
The OpenKnowra Skill Proficiency Analysis API closes the gap between what employees declare and what they actually know. Most skill data is wrong the moment it is entered: employees self-report a fraction of their capabilities, resumes miss skills used daily, and certifications go stale. This API combines what is explicitly known about a person with what can be reliably inferred from a 14.5M+ skill adjacency graph built on 18 years of enterprise workforce intelligence.
How It Works
Submit any mix of four signal types - resume and work history, certifications, project history, and training activity - and receive a proficiency profile spanning both explicit and inferred skills. Rather than matching keywords, the API reasons each score across five dimensions:
- Skill relationships and co-occurrence patterns
- Industry and domain context
- Experience context
- Evidence strength and recency
- Corroboration across multiple signals
Every skill is returned at one of four calibrated levels - Expert, Advanced, Proficient, or Beginner - applied consistently across every person and team.
Surface the Skills Hiding in Your Workforce
The skills your people actually have rarely match what your systems record. This API is powered by OpenKnowra, Spire.AI's context intelligence platform, and its knowledge graph of 14.5M+ skill relationships built on 18 years of enterprise workforce data. Rather than guessing, it reasons over that graph to surface the additional skills a person is likely to hold based on the ones already evidenced, each with a confidence score you can threshold on. The result is a complete profile instead of a partial one, with every skill traceable back to why it was included. Each profile returns:
- Explicitly confirmed skills with their signal source
- Inferred skills with confidence scores
- An overall composite tier
- Signal-freshness indicators and a completeness score
- Full reasoning behind every score for auditability
Security and Compliance
Skill and workforce data is sensitive, and this API is built to enterprise security and privacy standards. Spire.AI is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, and the service applies field-level access controls with data handling aligned to GDPR and CCPA. Every proficiency score is fully traceable to its source signals, giving you an auditable record for compliance reviews and regulatory reporting. Attestation reports and certificates are available on request for prospective customers under confidentiality.
Who Uses This
- Workforce planning teams build a real skill-supply map before making demand-supply, reskilling, and hiring decisions
- Talent acquisition scores internal candidates against open roles on calibrated proficiency rather than keywords
- Learning and development targets training where skill gaps are confirmed, not assumed
- HR technology platforms embed the API to enrich employee profiles at scale

Highlights
- Calibrated proficiency, not keyword matching. Powered by the OpenKnowra context intelligence platform, every skill is scored from contextual evidence and returned with the reasoning behind it, explainable to managers and leaders. You get a standardized, explainable proficiency layer in place of self-declared skills and static resumes.
- One standard for every skill and every person. Each skill maps to the same four tiers, Expert, Advanced, Proficient, and Beginner, so people across teams and regions are directly comparable. Each profile synthesizes multiple signals, certifications, project history, recency, adjacency, and context, into one reliable proficiency output.
- Enterprise-grade security, privacy, and auditability. Spire.AI is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, with field-level access controls and data handling aligned to GDPR and CCPA. Every proficiency score is fully traceable to its source signals, giving you an explainable, auditable record for compliance reviews and regulatory reporting.
