Skillwise Consulting - (Niche Technology) In a job market that is flooded with professionals in various skills. Be it an engineer armed with an MBA in Operations Management or a commerce graduate with a masters in HR all have to compete among the well qualified/certified whether experienced or not. Companies are looking at people who possess niche skills to carry out the job role. For instance, an organisation implementing ERP will look out for senior executives with prior exposure to that particular ERP. Or an organisation implementing their own Learning Development team would look out for those with an education industry background. The niche skills are generally domain specific for instance a lawyer with specialisation in copyrights or an HR professional with experience in Behavioural Assessments, but there are a few niche skills like “Active Listening”, “Group Dynamics”, “Humanistic Education”,“Linguistics” or “Social Media Marketing” that would apply in different domains.
