# Add Employee Competency

The competencies can be added to the employee's profile manually. Unlike the [job competencies](/v1/docs/job-competencies), the manually added competencies do not have the required level and can be assessed or omitted during the performance review (to omit them, select the **Include** **Job Competencies Only** check box when launching a review round).

To add a competency not related to employee's job role, follow these steps:

1. Open the employee card and click **Performance** > **Competencies**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c315c68d-2799-4fcc-9a39-084315b58f14/Images/Documentation/img795.png)
2. On the page that opens, click **Add competency for assessment**.![](https://cdn.document360.io/c315c68d-2799-4fcc-9a39-084315b58f14/Images/Documentation/img796(2).png)
3. Select the competency, provide the notes, if any, and select the assessment date.  ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c315c68d-2799-4fcc-9a39-084315b58f14/Images/Documentation/img797.png)
4. Click **Save** to add the competency. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c315c68d-2799-4fcc-9a39-084315b58f14/Images/Documentation/img799.png)

The competency will be added and you will be able to assess it by clicking **Assess** next to the competency or if there is no open performance review. To view the competency, click the **All Competencies** radio button.
