Feedback-based development lives in the AI Career Coach. See the Career guide.
1. Succession Readiness
Available in: Business, Custom
What It Shows
Your succession readiness score indicates how prepared you are for leadership roles or next-level positions. The score is the share of the target role level's required competencies and skills you already meet, with partial credit when you are one level short. It uses no performance rating, no potential rating and no calibration data.
Visual Example
Succession Readiness
Ready in 1 to 2 years Readiness Score 75/100 Target roles:- Senior Engineering Manager
- Technical Director
- Principal Engineer
Understanding Your Score
| Score | Band | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| 85-100 | Ready now | You're prepared to step into leadership roles immediately |
| 65-84 | Ready in 1 to 2 years | You're on track, with focused development needed |
| 40-64 | Developing | Focus on core competencies and skills |
| 1-39 | Significant gap | Meaningful gaps remain against the target role |
| 0, no requirements met | Not yet assessed | Readiness has not been evaluated yet |

How Skills Matching Works
The system calculates your match percentage using:
Match % = (Your Skills ∩ Job Skills) / Total Job Skills × 100
Example:
- Job requires: React, TypeScript, Figma, User Research (4 skills)
- You have: React, TypeScript, Figma (3 skills)
- Match: 75% (3 out of 4)
Recommendation Logic:
- ✅ 60%+ match = Recommended
- ✅ Same career path = Recommended (even if <60%)
- Career path alignment gets bonus scoring
3. Salary Band Position
Available in: Business, Custom
Your own band position shows on your profile's Compensation tab. Your manager, their managers and HR can see it too. If no band is assigned to your role and level, the card says so instead of showing an estimate. Market data lives in Compensation under Salary Bands > Market Data.
