The Problem

As an HR leader, finding the right people in your organization can be time-consuming. Whether you’re matching employees to roles, forming cross-functional teams, or looking for someone with a specific set of values, it often requires digging through spreadsheets or relying on word-of-mouth. This makes workforce planning and team management inefficient.

How Sola helps

Sola’s new enhanced search capabilities make this process simple and powerful. Leaders can now:

Filter results by tags to narrow searches by projects, teams, or contexts.
Search for people based on Core Drivers and Core Values, finding matches that align with culture and role fit.
Identify the best matches for job roles directly inside Sola.

This combination means you can instantly surface the right talent and build stronger teams, all without switching tools.

Step-by-step use case

Let’s walk through some examples of how you might use Sola’s enhanced search:

1. Filter by Tag
Suppose you want to find people in the HBR Hybrid tag who are strong communicators.

Try asking Sola:
“In the HBR Hybrid tag, find people who are good at communication and comfortable talking to people.”

2. Search by Core Drivers and Values
Need someone who will complement existing team members?

Try:
“Find people whose Core Drivers/ Core Values would complement [X] team.”

Or if you want to compare groups:

Try:
“Compare the most Core Drivers/ Core Values people in the [X] team with the members of the [Y] team.”

3. Search for role fit
Looking to fill a role quickly?

Try:
“Who is most suited at risk management roles in the [X] team?”

4. Combine searches for maximum value
This is where the magic happens. For example:

Try:
“Find the person most similar to me in the [X] tag and give me their job fit score for a software development position.”

Best practices & watchouts

Experiment with combinations: The real power comes when you combine tags, role fit, and Core Drivers/Values in a single search.
Watch for loops: On complex queries, Sola might get stuck if it can’t find a match. Don’t hesitate to refine your prompt.
Remember human oversight: Use Sola as a decision-support tool, not the sole basis for hiring or promotion. Always combine insights with your professional judgment.
