How-to
Manage employee skills as a manager
On this page
As a manager, you can use HRStop to view and manage the skills of employees within their reporting structure. This includes reviewing skill entries, approving or rejecting pending submissions, deleting approved skills, and viewing the complete update history of each skill. These capabilities help ensure that skill records remain accurate and reflect validated competencies across the team.
You can take action on employees who are either:
- Direct reportees, or
- Under the reporting line hierarchy
Steps to access employee skill records
- Log in to HRStop using your Manager credentials.
- Navigate to
Main Panel > My Team > Skills. - Use the Employee Filter to view:
- All employees in your reporting hierarchy, or
- A specific employee’s submitted skills
- To view detailed skills for a specific employee:
- Click the employee’s name (hyperlinked) in the skill list.
- This opens the employee-specific skill page.
Managing skills from the employee skill page
From the detailed skill page, you can:
- View all skills: both approved and pending
- Approve or Reject Pending Skills:
- ✅ Click Approve to accept the skill.
- ❌ Click Reject to decline it.
- Bulk Approve All Skills:
- Use the green Approve All (✓) button to approve all pending skills for that employee.
- Delete Approved Skills:
- Use the 🗑️ Delete icon to remove previously approved skills, if necessary.
Skill history log
For every skill listed, HRStop maintains a complete history of changes, approvals, and updates.
To view the skill log:
- Click the clock icon next to the skill’s status.
- A pop-up displays:
- All historical changes to rating or experience

- Names of users who made or approved each change
This provides full visibility into how an employee’s skills have evolved over time.
Important notes
