Who can do this: Owners and Admins. The setting applies to your whole company. · Product: Resume Builder · Where: Settings → General settings → Candidate profiles
You decide whether skills from a resume are added to the profile, only suggested, or left out. You also decide whether years of experience are filled in next to each skill.
How do I choose how skills are added?
To change the skills settings:
Click your name at the bottom left, then click Settings.
Under General, click General settings, then click the Candidate profiles tab.
Under Candidate skills behavior, select one of these:
Add main skills automatically (the default)
Only suggest skills to be added
Do not add or suggest any skills
Under Skill experience information, select one of these:
Include years of experience where available (the default)
Do not pre-fill years of experience
A bar appears at the bottom once you change something. Click Save changes, or Cancel to drop the change.
What happens next
Resumes you upload from now on use the new setting. With Only suggest skills to be added, the skills found are listed under "Suggested skills (found on CV/resume)" in the profile editor, and you select the ones to add.
Change skills on one profile
Important: Changing skills counts as an edit. The next export of that profile uses 1 credit.
Open the profile and click Edit.
Scroll to the skills section. Under Add skills (optional), click a suggested skill to add it, or enter a skill in the "Skill (ex: Data Analysis)" field.
For each skill you can select the experience under Experience (optional), drag it into another order, or remove it with the red X.
Click Update profile.
Common questions
How do I remove the years next to skills?
For new resumes, set Skill experience information to Do not pre-fill years of experience. For a profile you already have, edit its skills in the profile editor.
Why are skills missing from a new profile?
Check Candidate skills behavior. If it's set to Do not add or suggest any skills, no skills are added.
Can I add a skill the resume doesn't mention?
Yes, you can add any skill. Edit the profile and enter it in the skills section.
Pro tip: If your recruiters like to choose skills themselves, select Only suggest skills to be added. Skills found on the resume then wait under "Suggested skills (found on CV/resume)" until someone adds them.
