- Upload your content, one by one or in batches via the Extract Skills or Batch Extract Skills APIs and get the corresponding skills per each of your documents (e.g. Courses, Internal training content etc.)
- Take advantage of the skill hierarchy and get the standard skill list or the complete tree view shaped as Super Skills, Meta Skills and atomic level skills.
Match users with job opportunities based on sets of skills.
- Compare current to other jobs
Allow people to compare their current job to one they are interested in by using the Compare Jobs API. Submit the job_id of their current job and the one they’re interested in and get the matching percentage and the list of common and missing skills between the two jobs.
- Career path advice
Take advantage of the Job Career Path API and show people towards which jobs they should look and what would be the skills they should focus on improving to get there.
To know what would be the best next step in terms of career advancement for someone, look up the current job title using the Find Next Job API and find out which are the best options for the next step.

If you need to take a look at a candidate's job versus your open position, just compare the two jobs and see how much they match and what skills are in common or missing between the two jobs.
- By match percentage
By using the Job Career Path API you can get an overall idea on how well the current job matches the next one in the career path of a person. How? By looking at the matching percentage between the two jobs and the skill overlap count.
- At skill level
Should more information be of interest to you, then you can make an API call using two job IDs (e.g. current job ID and the ID the one of a job in the career path) and via the available parameters see exactly which skills the two jobs have in common or which skills are missing, yet are required for the next job.
Knowing from which other jobs you might be able to recruit people for your new job opening helps you target the proper candidates and save time.
