Frequently asked questions
Is this an HR tool engineers will ignore?
Engineers rate their own technical skills on a scale built for tools and languages, and see colleagues who work with the same stack. It is useful to them first.
Can we connect Okta instead of Microsoft?
Yes. Okta has its own self-serve sync and single sign-on guides.
