Hard Skills
Introduction
Evaluate hard skills in a structured way, without replacing human assessment
Trimoji's hard skills assessment helps to objectify the reading of a candidate's professional and technical skills from their CV, to make pre-selection and shortlisting more coherent. The goal is to transform a CV into comparable and actionable information, and then produce usable deliverables for recruitment, support, and consulting.
Trimoji does not replace the recruiter or the manager. Hard skills assessment is used to gain clarity, better prepare for interview verification, and reduce the risk of decisions based on a heterogeneous reading of CVs.

What the Hard Skills assessment covers
The hard skills assessment aims to structure the reading of the candidate's background, particularly:
- Skills and knowledge identifiable in the CV
- Key experiences and scope effectively covered
- Consistency of background with an expected trajectory
- Transferable skills and knowledge
Process
CV Submission
The candidate or recruiter provides their CV according to your process. The hard skills analysis is then based on this document to produce a structured reading.
Recruiter benefits
Recruiter Experience
Go beyond a standard CV review
Trimoji helps you achieve a more consistent CV review, useful when:
- The volume of applications is high
- Multiple people need to agree on a shortlist
- Profiles have different backgrounds that are difficult to compare
Identify transferable skills
In addition to the expected skills, Trimoji highlights transferable skills and knowledge, to better identify evolving or unconventional profiles.
Compare more easily
Comparison avoids rereading CVs separately and makes discrepancies more visible, speeding up decision-making.
Deliverables
Deliverables generated in a Hard Skills process
Here are the deliverables automatically generated for the hard skills part:
1) Specific CV Report
A report dedicated to the CV that highlights the profile's transferable skills and knowledge.

2) Comparative Report
A comparative report that allows:
- Comparison between CVs
- Or a comparison with the job brief (Personi)

3) Candidate Profile
The candidate profile aggregates all useful information about the profile to centralize, share, and guide decision-making.
