The past year has been a turning point for our company. After more than a decade as DevSkiller, we have officially rebranded to SkillPanel. This new name reflects how far we have come and where we are heading.
When we launched over ten years ago, DevSkiller had a clear and focused mission: to help companies hire better technical talent through real-world coding assessments. At the time, we were responding to a growing demand for tools that could accurately evaluate software developers’ skills, saving recruiters and engineering managers time and ensuring the right people were hired.
The world of work has changed significantly since then. And so have we.
A new era for our platform
Organizations across the globe have experienced major shifts since DevSkiller was founded. Digital transformation, remote work, and rapidly evolving technologies have made skills the center of business strategy. Hiring the right person is only part of the equation. Companies now need to:
- Understand the skills they already have across their workforce
- Identify gaps that could limit growth and performance
- Provide development opportunities that prepare employees for future needs
- Redeploy talent internally as priorities evolve
We recognized this shift early. What began as a platform for technical assessments has grown into a comprehensive skills intelligence solution. Today, our technology helps organizations map every skill across for every department, track progress against strategic objectives, and create data-driven talent strategies.
We are no longer just a tool for hiring developers. We are a platform that supports building skills-based organizations.
Expanding beyond technical hiring
As DevSkiller, our brand was closely associated with evaluating developer skills. This identity served us well in our early years, but it no longer reflects the full scope of what we deliver.
Our customers have evolved, and their needs have evolved with them. They require visibility into the capabilities of their entire workforce, not just technical talent. They want to know where to invest in upskilling, how to support career growth, and how to align their talent with business objectives.
SkillPanel represents this broader purpose. It is designed to help organizations operate with a complete view of their people and to make skills a strategic advantage.
The thinking behind SkillPanel
Our new name embodies three ideas that are central to our platform.
- Skills at the core: Every aspect of SkillPanel revolves around understanding and leveraging skills. Whether it is hiring, learning, or workforce planning, skills are the foundation of every feature we offer.
- Visibility and insight: The word “panel” reflects clarity. SkillPanel is a central place where leaders can see and manage their workforce capabilities in real time.
- Empowerment: With actionable insights, organizations can make informed decisions that drive performance, agility, and growth.
SkillPanel is not just a new name. It is a reflection of our vision to be the central hub for skills intelligence, enabling businesses to navigate a fast-changing world of work.

Reflecting on our journey
Rebranding after more than a decade is a significant step. DevSkiller has been an important part of our history, representing innovation, quality, and trust. We are proud of what we achieved under that name.
However, growth requires change. As our CEO, Jakub Kubrynski, explains:
“The past year has marked an important turning point for our company. After more than a decade as DevSkiller, we have rebranded to SkillPanel to reflect how our platform has evolved far beyond its origins in technical recruitment. While we continue to serve the hiring needs of our customers, our capabilities now extend deeply into skills intelligence, giving organizations a clear, data-driven view of their workforce capabilities, gaps, and opportunities.”
This statement reflects the essence of our decision. DevSkiller will always be part of who we are, but SkillPanel represents the company we have become in our continual pursuit for excellence.
Looking to the future
The workplace of tomorrow will look very different from today. New roles will emerge, technology will continue to advance, and businesses will need to adapt quickly.
Our mission with SkillPanel is to help our customers meet these challenges with confidence. We provide the insights and tools that allow them to anticipate change, invest wisely in their people, and unlock the full potential of their workforce.
To our customers, partners, and community: thank you for supporting us on this journey. Your feedback, collaboration, and trust have shaped who we are today, and we are excited to build the future with you.
