The Problem
Gauging the skill interests of a large group is invaluable for crafting content strategies. Yet, traditional interview techniques, surveys, and questionnaires often suffer from low engagement due to their demand on participants’ time. Even with high response rates, the collected data quickly becomes outdated, necessitating frequent, repetitive data-gathering cycles.
For many organizations, maintaining such an intensive process isn’t viable. Even those with ample resources struggle with the lack of standardized data. This hampers alignment with established career pathways and peer benchmarking. Furthermore, converting this understanding of professional interests into tailored resources and opportunities is another cumbersome task. If mishandled, it can diminish the initial enthusiasm for participating in data collection efforts.
