This ensures that your team uses consistent skill names, improves your ability to search and match candidates to jobs, and keeps your data clean and organized.
The Skills Management page is divided into three main tabs:
Manage individual skills, link equivalent skills, and track usage across jobs and profiles.
Each row in the Skills table shows key information at a glance:
Skill name: The Standard Skill your team uses, the main skill name that your team should use consistently when tagging jobs or profiles.
Group: The group this skill belongs to (or No Group if not grouped).
Equivalent skills: All alternative names mapped to the Standard Skill.
Jobs: Number of job postings where this skill is required.
Profiles: Number of candidate profiles listing this skill.
Last updated: The most recent change to this skill or its mappings.

Group name: The name of your skill group.
Skills: Number of skills belonging to this group.
Jobs: Total jobs linked with skills in this group.
Profiles: Candidate profiles using skills in this group.
Last updated: Most recent update for skills or mappings in this group.
You can:
Add group: Create a new group.
Edit: Rename a group.
Delete: Remove a group (skills inside will revert to No Group).
Pending Skills is where Admin review and manage newly created skills that have not yet been approved. These skills are typically suggested by AI or created during system usage.
While a skill is in Pending status:
It can still be searched and selected across the system.
It can be temporarily reused in jobs, profiles, and other skill-related workflows.
When reviewing Pending Skills, Admins have three options:
Action | Result |
Approve as Standard | Creates a new Standard Skill |
Approve as Equivalent | Links the skill to an existing Standard Skill |
Reject | Remove out of the pending skill listing |
Once a skill is approved as standard skill:
It is removed from the Pending skills list and appears in the Standard skills list.
All temporary usages are converted into standard skill mappings.
The skill becomes an officially reusable skill across the system.
Approve one by one
Approve in bulk
If a pending skill represents the same meaning as an existing standard skill, Admins can approve it as an Equivalent Skill. It is linked to the selected Standard Skill
To approve a pending skill as an equivalent skill:
Select Approve as Equivalent
Approve one by one
Approve in bulk
Select the target Standard Skill from the searchable dropdown list.
Click Approve.
If a pending skill is incorrect, unnecessary, or should not be reused, Admins can reject it.
Rejected skills are removed entirely from the system. Any temporary mappings associated with the skill are deleted, and the skill is immediately removed from search and autocomplete results.
Once rejected, a skill cannot be recovered.
