The £300-a-month problem hiding in your own team
A mid-sized charity was paying an agency £300 a month to run two social posts a week. One of their Saturday shop volunteers runs social media professionally: three brands, 40,000 followers of her own. She'd been volunteering for four months. Nobody had ever asked.
That's not an unusual story. It's the normal state of most organisations. You know people's job titles. You don't know what they can actually do.
Read the full storyA 10 to 15 minute chat finds what a form never will
Traditional forms and surveys capture what people remember to write down. AI conversations uncover what people actually know.
The old way
-
A form asks the same fixed questions to everyone
-
People tick boxes for what they remember, not what they know
-
Long forms get abandoned or rushed
-
Anything not on the form stays invisible: languages, past careers, volunteering, things picked up on the job
SkillDrill
-
An AI conversation adapts to each person, in real time
-
It follows up. Mention project management, and it asks which methodology, which tools, how many people
-
Feels like a chat with a colleague, not a compliance exercise, so people actually finish it
-
Surfaces what a form would never think to ask about
One conversation can surface skills that were never written down anywhere. Try it yourself in the demo.
How it works
Three simple steps to unlock your team's full potential.
1. Ask the right questions once
Build a question set for your organisation, or start from a template. SkillDrill turns it into natural conversation prompts automatically.
2. Let AI do the interviewing
Your team has a short, adaptive conversation, on their phone, at their own pace. No account setup, no training needed.
3. See what you actually have
Skills are extracted, organised, and made searchable immediately. Find who can do what in seconds, not weeks.
What you get
From AI conversations to interactive skill maps, SkillDrill gives you a complete picture of what your team can do.
Skill Explorer
An interactive, searchable map of every skill in your organisation. Click any skill to see who has it, and how strong they are.
- Search by skill
- Proficiency levels
- Interactive map
Smart Teams
Tell it what a project needs. It shows you who already has the right mix of skills to do it, instead of relying on who you happen to remember.
- Team suggestions
- Gap analysis
- Skill mix
Career Pathways
Show your people a real route forward, matched to skills they already have and the ones they'd need to build.
- Progression routes
- Prerequisites
- Skill matching
Concern Flagging
If someone raises a welfare or professional concern during a conversation, it's routed straight to a named person in your organisation. Never left buried in a transcript.
- Named recipient
- Escalation
- Human review
AI Conversations
Natural, adaptive chats that power everything above. No forms, no logins for your team.
Scheduled Catch-ups
Regular, automated check-in conversations keep every profile current without chasing anyone.
Automated Signposting
When a conversation surfaces a need, SkillDrill points the person to the right resource or support.
Built for organisations that can't afford to get data wrong
Charities, the NHS, and local government don't get to treat data security as an afterthought. Neither do we.
AES-256-GCM Encryption
All personal data encrypted at rest with tenant-specific keys. The same standard used by governments and banks.
Per-Tenant Isolation
Every organisation's data is completely isolated. Separate encryption keys, separate access controls, zero cross-tenant exposure.
Full Audit Trail
Every action logged and traceable. SSO via Microsoft Entra ID, with data export and deletion tools built in.

AI you can trust
We believe AI should be transparent, ethical, and always under human control. Here's our commitment.
Your Data Stays Yours
Data never leaves the platform. Never sold, never shared, never used for advertising.
Human Oversight Always
AI assists and augments decisions. Humans always have the final say on every insight and profile.
No Training on Your Data
Your conversations are never used to train AI models. Strict data processing agreements enforced.
Full Transparency
Open AI policy. You can see exactly how AI is used, what data is processed, and what controls exist.
AI included.
Your own keys if you want them.
Every plan includes the AI, so there is nothing to set up. With the included AI, conversations are processed by Anthropic (Claude) through Amazon Bedrock in London (eu-west-2) under our data processing agreement and are never used for training. With your own keys, data goes straight to your provider and we never see your API traffic.
