Skill Gap Detection

The Skill Gap Detection plugin API is designed to identify gaps between a candidate’s current skillset and the skills required in a job description.

This API delivers clear, AI-powered insights that help recruiters evaluate candidate-job fit and enable candidates to understand areas for improvement. It accepts either a parsed Resume JSON or raw resume file data, along with user-specific credentials such as the user key, version, and sub-user ID. A job description must be included in the request to perform skill gap analysis.

Using job zones and industry standards, the API performs an intelligent comparison and highlights job-relevant skills that the candidate lacks or needs to develop. These identified gaps are returned in the response under the missing_skills entity. Additionally, the response includes the original Parsed Resume JSON for reference.

This feature supports use cases such as:

  • Candidates identifying areas for upskilling
  • Recruiters assessing the skill alignment of candidates for specific roles

Parsing Credit Usage:

  • 1 credit is consumed if a Parsed Resume JSON is provided in the request.
  • 2 credits are consumed if the resume file is provided instead of Parsed Resume JSON.
