Skill Setting

Purpose

Skills are used to define competencies that can be linked to job positions, candidates, and evaluation processes during recruitment.

  • Admin

  • HR Admin

Required Permissions

  • Recruitment → Settings → Create

What Skill Setting Is Used For

Skill Setting is used to:

  • Define skills required for job positions

  • Tag candidates with relevant skills

  • Support candidate evaluation and screening

  • Maintain a standardized skill list across recruitment

Skills help ensure consistency when assessing candidates.

Where These Apply

Once configured, skills are used in:

  • Job Position setup

  • Candidate Profiles

  • Evaluation and assessment processes

Skills are available across all recruitment campaigns.

How To Add a Skill

  1. Go to Recruitment → Settings → Skills

  2. Click New Skill

  3. Enter the Skill Name (example: Communication, PHP, Accounting)

  4. Click Save

The skill is immediately available for use in recruitment.

How To Manage Skills

From the Skill list, Admin users can:

  • View existing skills

  • Edit skill names if required

  • Remove skills that are no longer used

Changes apply to future usage of the skill.

Important Rules to Know

  • Skills are tenant-wide and shared across recruitment

  • Editing a skill name updates it everywhere it is used

  • Deleting a skill does not delete candidate records

  • Skills should be managed carefully once recruitment is active

Best Practices

  • Keep skill names simple and standardized

  • Avoid duplicate or similar skill names

  • Review skill list periodically

  • Add skills before starting recruitment campaigns

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Creating duplicate skills with different spellings

  • Deleting skills that are actively used in evaluations

  • Adding overly specific skills that are rarely reused
