Build a Fairer, Skills-First Workplace with Employee Feedback

As more organizations move away from traditional degree requirements toward skills-based hiring, it's essential to gather feedback from your team. This Skills-Based Hiring & Credential Flexibility Survey helps HR leaders, People Ops teams, and organizational development professionals understand employee perspectives on competency assessments, promotion equity, and credential flexibility.

Use this template to collect honest insights on how your team views the shift to skills-based talent strategies—whether they feel assessments are fair, promotions are equitable, and career pathways are transparent. With clear, structured questions, you'll identify gaps, build trust, and shape policies that value capability over credentials.

Paperform makes it easy to create beautiful, on-brand employee surveys that feel personal and drive higher response rates. Use conditional logic to tailor questions based on employee tenure or department, and integrate directly with tools like Slack, Google Sheets, or your HRIS via Stepper to automate feedback workflows and keep leadership informed in real time.

Whether you're rolling out a new competency framework, eliminating degree requirements, or auditing promotion practices for equity, this survey helps you involve employees in the process and build a culture rooted in fairness and growth.
