Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for automated calibration of at least one competence topology of a position/vacancy which is filled and/or to be filled with the competence topology of one or more candidates, characterised by the following steps: a) carrying out a requirement analysis with regard to the competence fields which are required and/or desirable for the position which is filled and/or to be filled, b) converting the data of the requirement analysis determined in step a) into digital data, c) generating at least one competence topology for the position which is filled or to be filled to fix the competence level, d) preparing a position-specific, individual inquiry sheet or inquiry sheet set, e) filling out the inquiry sheet or inquiry sheet set by the candidates, wherein inquiry of the data is effected by means of electronic data transfer, f) data evaluation and generation of a candidate-specific competence topology, and g) assessing the candidate-specific competence topology a
