Defining Skill Proficiency Levels in Bridge
Here's how you define proficiency levels for skills and map them to your organization's job titles.
1. Create a Skill Proficiency Matrix
Navigate to Admin from the primary navigation, and click Skills Proficiency under the Talent Marketplace drop-down.
There, you’ll see your existing proficiency matrix.
Click + Create Proficiency Level, then add a title and description. This scale can be customized to include either alphabetical skill levels (e.g., Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced) or numerical ratings (e.g., 1 to 5).
Drop and drag these levels to reorder them from least to most proficient.
Click the Save button once you’re done.
2. Map Proficiency Levels to Job Titles
Next, map these proficiency levels to job titles to define the required skill levels for each role.
Click Job Titles from the Talent Marketplace drop-down, and you’ll see a list of job titles.
Click one of these job titles, and you’ll see a list of associated skills. For each skill, you can define the proficiency level required by clicking on the drop-down. A skill associated with a job title that doesn’t have a specified level will be displayed with No Level.
Once you’re done, click Back to Job Titles to return to the list.

3. Group Job Titles Into Career Tracks
Head to the Career Tracks tab and click + Add Career Track to assign skill proficiency levels to job titles, giving you an easy way of visualizing career progression within a department or function.
Add a career track title and description. Below, you’ll see a table.
When you add a job role to the table, it will automatically populate the table with a list of skills associated with that role. You can use the free-text field to add additional skills and click X to delete them.
Under each title, you’ll see a drop-down selection box allowing you to define the level of proficiency needed for each skill you’ve selected.
Click Career Tracks in the top-left-hand corner when you’re done. Changes are saved automatically.
4. Review Proficiency Levels for Skills
Click Skills under the Talent Marketplace tab. Select a skill from the list and navigate to the Proficiency Level Descriptions tab.
You can add positive and negative descriptors to proficiency levels, making them clearer and more specific. You can also assign proficiency levels to job titles.
