How does Textkernel define a skill?

At Textkernel a skill is more than a word, it’s a trait or capacity that can be associated with an individual across various professional scenarios.

How many skill concepts does Textkernel’s skills classification cover?

Textkernel’s skills classification is vast with more than 12,000 skill concepts that categorize over 300,000 synonyms across over 25 languages.

How did Textkernel collect, assess, and classify all their concepts and synonyms?

Collecting all the concepts and synonyms in our taxonomies is an ongoing process that evolves to reflect changes in the market. It involves looking at job postings, existing taxonomies, online sources and websites, educational institutions’ descriptions, and syllabuses.

We also used statistical techniques and machine learning to distill our vast list into something relevant and useful. And it doesn’t stop there: we assess relevancy by analyzing real-world usage of skill concepts across millions of job postings and candidate CVs to ensure they’re spot on. Finally, our dedicated quality assurance teams extensively inspect and improve the system to guarantee that the skill list reflects human intuition.

How is Textkernel’s taxonomy structured?

We distinguish between 4 categories of skills: professional skills, soft skills, IT skills, and languages. There’s also a similarity score between each pair of skills which adds structure.

How frequently does Textkernel add new skills or update the taxonomy?

We’re committed to making your experience better all the time. Which is why we release updates every quarter, enhancing the skills repository across all available languages and fine-tuning our extraction method.

Can I suggest new skills?

Definitely! Your insights matter to us. We welcome your feedback on our skills concepts and consult closely with several of our key customers on the continued enhancement of our taxonomy. If you’re interested in joining our Ontology Maintenance program, contact us.

How do I get my candidate database to speak your skills and professions language?

Our skills and professions standardization tooling is here to help. It effortlessly translates any list of skills or professions into our framework, making it easy to align your existing data with our skills and professions taxonomies.
