I got to ask this -- how reliable is this new page for employees, when
you compare it with, say, hand crafted (HR managerd.controlled)
employee page?

I just read McKinsey Quarterly article on the same stuff -- Do you
know who your experts are? (just google it, you will find it). They
are driving the same suggestion by stating that old way of building
"talent database" is unreliable because what people say about themself
(or about others) is biased information.

That begs for the question -- what's the guarentee system generated
profile will not be biased, or equally bad? I mean, people know how to
game search engines?!

I was about to ask, what's the point of doing all this. I guess, you
are hiding the answer here :-) Probably you need to explain more along
the lines of "parameters". What you mean by that?
