Skill Proficiency Search

The Skill Proficiency functionality is introduced in Search and Match to enhance the precision of skill-based matching between resumes and job profiles.

This feature enables users to adjust skill scores based on proficiency levels and ensures more accurate search results by considering the relevance of each skill in relation to the job query.

The Skill Proficiency feature evaluates the relevance and proficiency level of skills within a resume. It classifies skills found in the resume into three proficiency levels: Native, Proficient, and Moderate, based on the context and years of experience associated with each skill. The proficiency level is then weighted, allowing users to refine search results according to skill relevance to the job profile.

Skill Classification and Weighting:

• Skills found in the resume are evaluated based on factors such as their relevance to the job profile, their context (e.g., mentioned in the experience section or elsewhere in the resume), the number of years of experience associated with that skill, and whether the skill is classified under the SkillHaveExp or SkillWithoutExp entities in the resume, etc.

  • Native: The skill is classified as Native if the candidate has expert-level proficiency, supported by extensive experience (typically 5+ years of hands-on use).

  • Proficient: The skill is classified as Proficient if the candidate has advanced proficiency, typically backed by 2-5 years of experience.

  • Moderate: The skill is classified as Moderate if the candidate has intermediate proficiency, typically with less than 2 years of experience or basic knowledge.

• The weight assigned to each proficiency level is specified in the API request, allowing users to adjust the importance of each level in the search results.
