When it comes to finding the perfect candidate for your job opening, it's important to have as much information as possible. That's why we've made it easy for you to evaluate applicants by adding skills to their profiles. Skills are atomically added to candidates when they upload a resume, giving you more ways to split and evaluate applicants.
How are Skills added to a Candidate?
When a candidate uploads a resume, we will automatically pull a list of skills from their resume and assign them to the candidate. These skills will be shown on the candidate's profile and on their application. This allows you to quickly see what skills the candidate possesses and how they align with the requirements of your job opening.
How do I add Skills to a Candidate?
When viewing the candidate's profile. click on the skills badge to see all of the skills attached to their profile. From here you can search for a skill to add. If the skill you want doesn't exist yet you have the option of creating it.
How do I filter on Skills?
You can use skills to help find candidates that you want to invite to a role. When looking at a job, navigate to the Talent Pipeline tab. From here you can search a specific pool for skills you would like. The search will pull candidates that have at least one skill that you mention and will sort by showing you the candidates that have the most skills that match first.
How do I remove the Skills feature?
If you want to avoid using skills in Pinpoint, you have two options to have them removed.
1. You can remove the AI-generated skills, leaving the skills feature to work only with manually added skills. To do this, navigate to your company profile preference and turn off "Resume Skills Interpretation."
2. You can have the skills feature completely removed. To do this, please contact support and ask them to disable the skills feature on your platform.
