Our Heritage: Enterprise 360-Degree Feedback
Skillrater was originally created by Louis Carter and the Best Practice Institute as an enterprise 360-degree feedback, anytime feedback, and continuous skill-rating platform.
For over a decade, professionals used Skillrater to request direct ratings from supervisors, peers, clients, customers, and stakeholders. These ratings were firmly rooted in real work, business goals, and demonstrated competencies, utilizing precise 1-to-5 ratings paired with qualitative feedback. Enterprise organizations leveraged this framework heavily for leadership development, talent mobility, and continuous improvement.
The Modern Evolution: The Skills Evidence Profile
As the labor market shifted, we realized that while internal 360-feedback was invaluable, professionals lacked a standardized way to prove those same skills to the external market.
Old Skillrater: Internal 360 feedback + continuous peer skill ratings.
New Skillrater: Public Skill Evidence Profiles + Opportunity Mapping + Private Skill References + Career-page integration.
Today, Skillrater functions as a definitive bridge. We transform resumes, bios, and historical performance data into structured, validated skill evidence that companies can trust.
The Connected Ecosystem
Skillrater does not operate in a vacuum. It is deeply connected to a wider ecosystem of workplace excellence and verification:
- Best Practice Institute: Providing the underlying leadership and competency frameworks.
- Most Loved Workplace®: Connecting validated talent with certified, high-culture employers.
- CertCheck: Integrating candidate skill evidence directly into company career pages.
- Visipage.ai: Powering verified professional and company visibility.
