Understanding ProSki® Indices: A Smarter Way to Measure Capability, Fitment & Career Alignment

In today’s rapidly evolving world of work, professionals and employers alike face a common challenge — understanding whether skills truly match job expectations. Traditional resumes and experience summaries rarely reveal the whole picture. That’s where ProSki®, the proprietary capability measurement engine integrated across careerbuddyonline, steps in as a scientific, unbiased, and data-driven benchmarking framework.

To empower professionals in making informed career moves and to support organizations in hiring right, ProSki® introduces three powerful capability scores, along with a series of indices that explain fitment, relevance, and alignment with unprecedented clarity.

The Three Core ProSki® Scores

1. Generic ProSki® Score (G-ProSki®)

A holistic capability benchmark that reflects your overall professional strength across roles and job levels.

2. Candidate ProSki® Score (C-ProSki®)

A job-specific capability evaluation that measures how well your skills match a particular role.

3. Job ProSki® Score (J-ProSki®)

A benchmark set for a given job based on role expectations, competencies, and skill depth required.

Together, these scores act as a scientific triad to decode how strong, relevant, and aligned a professional is to any job opportunity.


🔍 Introducing the ProSki® Indices

These indices translate the raw scores into meaningful insights, helping both professionals and organizations make confident decisions.

1. Job Fitment Index

Formula: C-ProSki® / J-ProSki®

This index answers one of the most critical questions:
“How closely does the candidate’s capability match the job requirement?”

Interpretation:

  • > 1.0 — Candidate exceeds job expectations

  • = 1.0 — Ideal fit

  • 0.8 – 0.99 — Minor gaps; trainable

  • < 0.8 — Significant capability gap

Why it matters:

  • HR teams can shortlist the right-fit candidates immediately

  • Professionals understand their readiness and development needs

2. Job Relevance Index

Formula: C-ProSki® / G-ProSki®

This index reveals whether your job-specific skills are aligned with your overall profile.

Interpretation:

  • > 1.0 — Highly relevant to the job

  • = 1.0 — Balanced general and job-specific strength

  • 0.8 – 0.99 — Marginally lower job relevance

  • < 0.8 — General skills outweigh job-specific skills

Why it matters:

  • HR identifies specialists vs. generalists

  • Professionals discover whether they’re pursuing roles aligned to their strengths

3. Job Alignment Index

Formula: Job Relevance Index / Job Fitment Index

The most strategic measure — this index shows how effectively a candidate’s skills align with both the job requirements and their overall profile.

Interpretation:

  • > 1.0 — Strong alignment

  • = 1.0 — Balanced alignment

  • 0.8 – 0.99 — Slight mismatch

  • < 0.8 — Not aligned; role mismatch or underutilization

Why it matters:

  • Helps organizations form well-balanced teams

  • Helps professionals evaluate whether a job will utilize their true strengths
