Skills intelligence for businesses under 250 people

You already employ
more capability
than you can see.

ScoutWithIn reads the CVs and project history you already hold, turns them into skills you can trace back to a quote, and tells you honestly whether to use someone, develop them, or finally hire.

Recommendation: develop Tom to level 4 on cloud infrastructure and buy in machine learning for one quarter. A full-time hire is not justified yet.

Internal first

every gap is checked against your own people before a hire

Every claim

traces back to a verbatim line of evidence

Nothing auto-approved

a human confirms each skill before it counts

Requirements engine · live

Move the requirement. Watch the answer change.

This is the real engine, running in your browser on an anonymised six-person team. Raise a required level, simulate developing someone, and the use / develop / hire verdict recalculates with the reasoning attached — deterministic arithmetic, never a model guessing.

How it works

From the paperwork you already have, to a decision you can defend.

01

Bring the evidence

Paste or upload a CV, or write up a project someone delivered. No new HR process, no self-assessment surveys nobody fills in.

02

AI proposes, a human decides

Skills are extracted with a level, a confidence and the exact sentence they came from. A manager confirms, adjusts or rejects each one.

03

Compare against what you need

Define a role or project. ScoutWithIn shows who covers it, who is close, and what genuinely has to come from outside.

Evidence, not vibes

Every skill can be challenged — and answered.

Skills inventories fail because nobody trusts them. In ScoutWithIn, clicking any capability opens the line of evidence behind it: which document, which sentence, who confirmed it and when.

Internal-first by design

Three honest answers, and it will only say “hire” when it means it.

Use

Someone already meets the level. ScoutWithIn names them, shows the evidence, and flags it if they are your only one.

Develop

Someone is within reach. You get the gap in levels, who is closest, and a simulated view of readiness once they grow.

Hire

Nobody is close enough. The recommendation arrives with the reasoning attached, so the budget conversation is short.

Skills Buddy, for the people being measured

Employees get their own grounded assistant: what their evidence says they are strong at, which internal opportunity they are closest to, and a realistic plan to close the gap. Managers never see their chats.
