Send the Skills Audit (21st-century skills) from iCIMS in 12 minutes
Inside iCIMS Talent Cloud, the Skills Audit integrates into enterprise workforce-planning dashboards to track AI literacy and modern-skills distribution across hiring cohorts. iCIMS customers use the 12-domain Skills Audit (analytical thinking, creative thinking, AI literacy, resilience, learning agility, etc.) to surface enterprise capability gaps and inform talent-analytics dashboards. AI literacy in particular feeds executive-level workforce-planning models to identify future capability needs and design L&D interventions. The composite-readiness score plus domain sub-scores (each 0-100) surface in iCIMS talent-analytics reporting. Enterprise security requirements are native to the integration.
Validity
Skills self-assessments correlate moderately with supervisor ratings (ρ ≈ .35; Mabe & West 1982). Signal rises sharply to ρ .55 when triangulated with work-sample evidence.

Sample score envelope
Generated by the same normalizer that serves your iCIMS webhook, so the field names and types below are the ones you will parse. The candidate and the answers are a worked example; the numbers are illustrative, not a benchmark.
dimensions[].score is 0–100 within this test’s own scale. It is safe to rank candidates on one dimension of one test, and it is not a percentile unless metadata.score_metric says so — today only Big Five publishes percentiles, against norms whose sample size and pull date travel in the same envelope. Scores from two different tests are not comparable to each other.
