Personal Skills Benchmark

Updated

Your skills against what the posts ask for

Pick a seat, rate yourself, see your gaps and a path to close them.

Where you are

Years in revenue roles
Your market

The seat you want next

The benchmark covers the three seats RIVET’s skill list sets target levels for. More seats follow as the data grows.

Rate yourself, skill by skill

Pick the line that matches what you do today, not what your title says.

What the five levels mean
  1. L1AwareI know what it is and can explain it, but I haven’t done it on real accounts.
  2. L2FoundationI do it on standard cases, with a template, a checklist or my manager’s review.
  3. L3PractitionerI do it on my own book, on my own, with consistent results.
  4. L4AdvancedI handle the hard or unusual cases, and I help others do it.
  5. L5Expert / ArchitectI designed the way my team does it, and others follow my standard.

Pick the seat you want next, and its skills appear here.

How the benchmark works
The skills and their levels
Each seat’s skills and its two target levels (entry, experienced) come from RIVET’s skill list, version 2026-10-31. The five levels are the ones above.
The band you are compared with
Moving into a seat, or under 3 years in the seat you hold: the entry band. 3 years or more in the seat you hold: the experienced band.
The market benchmark
How many of this issue’s coded job posts for the seat name each skill, in your market where it has posts, else MENA. A market under the floor of 50 coded posts (a 90-day window) is an early signal, and says so.
The learning path
Courses that teach a gap as a main subject, at the seat’s level, for the seat. Each shows the membership that includes it. Free first steps come first.
What we keep
Your ratings never leave this page. The free sign-up keeps your name, e-mail, LinkedIn if you give it, the two seats, your market, your years and the courses your path shows.
