Computer-implemented method and system for competency information management

A computer-implement method for competency information management, comprising:

• creating a cluster-based knowledge repository, wherein the cluster-based knowledge repository comprises a plurality of the knowledge clusters each comprising a set of skills interconnected among each other, wherein at least one cluster from the plurality of knowledge clusters are associated with at least one technology domain;
• receiving by a competency profile manager an input profile, wherein the input profile is one of a candidate profile and a job description of a recruiter;
• dynamically defining by the competency profile manager a plurality of competency parameters corresponding to the input profile from each of the knowledge clusters of interconnected skills from the cluster-based knowledge repository based on at least one of a relation among clusters, a relation among skills available in a cluster, and a relation between a skill in one cluster with a skill in another cluster;
• determining by the competency profile manager at least one qualifier available in each competency profile of a plurality of competency profiles;
• computing by the competency profile manager a competency score for each competency profile from the plurality of competency profiles based on a relation between the at least one qualifier available in each of the competency profile and the plurality of competency parameters dynamically defined from the cluster-based knowledge repository;
• arranging by the competency profile manager the plurality of competency profiles based on the competency score of each competency profile;
• and
• displaying by the competency profile manager the plurality of arranged competency profiles along with the corresponding competency score.

An electronic device for competency information management comprising:

• a cluster-based knowledge repository;
• a processor;
• and
• a competency profile manager, coupled to the processor and the cluster-based knowledge repository, configured to:
• create a cluster-based knowledge repository, wherein the cluster-based knowledge repository comprises a plurality of the knowledge clusters each comprising a set of skills interconnected among each other, wherein at least one cluster from the plurality of knowledge clusters are associated with at least one technology domain;
• receive an input topic provided in at least one section of a plurality of sections of a candidate profile;
• determine a plurality of competency parameters corresponding to the input topic from the cluster-based knowledge repository;
• dynamically determine least one knowledge cluster of interconnected skills from the plurality of the knowledge clusters knowledge repository based on the plurality of competency parameters;
• display a graphical element comprising the at least one knowledge cluster of interconnected skills corresponding to the input topic,
• detect at least one skill selected the plurality of interconnected skills;
• generate a competency profile by combining the input topic with the at least one skill selected from the plurality of interconnected skills,
• store the competency profile;
• determine a plurality of qualifiers available in the competency profile,
• validate whether skills corresponding to each of the qualifier is available in the competency profile, wherein the skills are dynamically defined based on the plurality of competency parameters;
• determine a competency score based on the validation;
• and
• provide at least one recommendation based on the competency score to improvise at least one skill in the competency profile.

An electronic device for competency information management comprising:
