Striive Update: Discover the new gap analysis & the improved profile

What is the new gap analysis feature?

Striive’s gap analysis automatically compares a professional’s profile with the requirements of a specific assignment. Once a profile is complete and a professional or supplier applies for an assignment, Striive analyzes key data such as:

• Skills

• Certifications

• Number of years of relevant experience per skill

This information is then compared with both the required and preferred qualifications of the assignment.

The result

An objective, visual assessment of how well a professional matches the role, clearly showing where the match is strong, where there are growth opportunities, and which skills are missing.

With color indicators, you can see this at a glance:

🟢 Perfect match
🟡 Partial match or growth opportunities
🔴 Skill missing

This supports suppliers and recruiters in making better-informed decisions, gives professionals clear insight into their chances, and allows them to adjust their profile instantly.

What does this mean for independent professionals?

The redesigned profile helps you, as an independent professional, present yourself more strongly and professionally to potential clients. Thanks to our objective matching, you know exactly:

• Which assignments align well with your experience

• Where your profile offers opportunities to grow

• How to position yourself more effectively

This is just the first step. In the next phase, the profile will become even smarter, so you spend less time manually adjusting CVs. As a result, you’ll be found more quickly for assignments that truly fit you.

What does this mean for suppliers?

The gap analysis feature helps suppliers quickly identify the right candidate.

Striive:

• Automatically compares skills with assignment requirements

• Shows how much experience someone has for each required skill

• Makes differences between professionals and assignment expectations immediately visible

This enables suppliers to recommend the best match faster and with greater confidence, and to build a stronger motivation.
