What is Employable?
Employable is a skills-gap assessment and employability rating platform built for graduates and job seekers. We evaluate your current skills profile against real market demands, generate a personalised employability score, and deliver an actionable plan to bridge the gap — making the unemployed, employable.
The DSR Approach
Diagnose
What is the problem, and where are the gaps? We start by mapping exactly where your current profile falls short of your target role.
Score
How do you measure against industry standards? We benchmark you against real, current market requirements — not guesswork.
Recommend
We design a personalised development plan to improve your employability, with clear milestones and a roadmap that adapts as you grow.
A signal employers actually trust.
Employers increasingly use skills-based hiring to identify candidates. An employability score signals self-awareness, ambition, and readiness — qualities that set you apart in a competitive market.
Track your progress over time by retaking assessments every 3–6 months. Watch your score climb as you develop, and use the trend data to demonstrate growth to prospective employers or mentors.
