What is Skills Graph?

A visual and computational representation of the relationships between skills, employees, roles, learning content, and projects within an organization, structured as a network graph where nodes represent entities and edges represent connections like proficiency, requirement, or adjacency.

Why it matters in hiring

Skills Graph comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
