Abstract —There are several processes and technological tools used in hiring an employee and managing various skills. Recent advancement in
employment technology and job search procedure has mandated a shift in paradigm for skill and competency management. Companies require specific
level of competency in various types of skills. The competency level in any skill(s) categories can help employers to choose the right candidate for a
vacancy. Several researches have shown that companies often find it difficult to properly verify or validate most applicant submission and hence hire job
seekers based on their individual skills which are declared in submitted CVs. More than 75 percent of employers have once hired the wrong person(s)
for a position and for every one ‘bad hire’, the companies lost $17,000 on average per year. Some professional career network such as LinkedIn and
Jobcase do not auto-verify any skill-set added by a user or skill rating done by individuals. Therefore, there is need to have a closed system that can
combact fasle skill decalartions and help the human resource department to identify the most qualified employee .The outcome of this paper called DEW
is a web-base career network which proposes as skill market-place where both jobseekers and companies can create profiles while ensuring that skill(s)
listed by jobseekers can be rated and published not only users but majorly by registered and verified companies. Professional Career Networks can
adopt this strategy towards improving the employment technology for skill-set and competnecy level continuum.

1 INTRODUCTION
he Human Resource Department of hiring companies are
usually faced with the challenge of hiring the right
jobseeker or job applicant with the right skills needed for
whatever vacant positions they have to fill. Hence, interviews
or assessment quizzes are held for such jobseekers to verify
their competencies.
HRM is a combination of people-oriented manage-
ment practices that views employees as assets, not costs; and
its main aim is to create and maintain a skillful and committed
workforce to gain competitive advantage. The human re-
sources management (HRM) is a relatively modern label for
the ranges of themes and practices involved in managing peo-
ple. In organizations today, “people” (workers) are critical fac-
tors in its well-being. Since every organization is made up of
people, hiring and maintaining good and qualified people is
critical to the effectiveness or success of organization. For the
fact that every organization is human oriented - a factor with-
out which the organization is reduced to nothing - the process
of acquiring human services, developing skills, motivating
them and ensuring their loyalty in the organization are vital
instrument for achieving organization objectives be it a public
or private sector. [1]
In today’s fast-paced world, things have become so much
unpredictable and uncertain especially in areas of rapid and
radical technological development which focus more on com-
puterization. Organizations must be engaged with tools that
enhanceproper utilization of human resources and operations
manner throughout the agency. Human Resource Mangement
technology such as electronic recruitment and staffing systems
meant to help to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of
organizational management and operations. [2]
It is therefore important that Human Resource Depart-
ment hire qualified candidates via those technologies. This can
only be achieved when there is strategy or system that can
filter a false skill declaration providing a first-phase solution
to false-skill declaration Professional Career Networks can be
restructured using this strategy to verify and validate a skill-
set and compentecy level supplied by an applicant.
2 PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
A Performance Management System is designed to assist
management and employees alike in communicating perfor-
mance goals, sharing performance information on a regular
basis, fostering learning and development, and exploring ca-
reer opportunities.
Performance management is a cycle of managing employee
performance for success where goals are created, competen-
cies are incorporated, and constructive feedback is provided
for continuous improvement.
Benefits of a Performance Management System include [3]:
i. Creates a high-performance organization and profes-
sion
ii. Establishes a clear link between organizational and
individual objectives
iii. Encourages ongoing communication through coach-
ing and meaningful feedback to employees
iv. Encourages discussion and development of compe-
tencies through training
v. Recognizes exemplary performance and accomplish-
ments.
Integrating competencies within the performance manage-
ment process provides feedback to employees not only on
“what” they have accomplished (i.e. performance goals), but
