Skill Enrichment API
Retrieve up-to-date information on a skill through a one-to-one match
Overview
The Skill Enrichment API lets you enrich data on a skill by performing a one-to-one match of this skill with those included in our Skill Dataset. Once matched, you can search for profiles with less context. For example, instead of explicitly searching for "engineers who know spark, mapreduce or hadoop" you can search for "engineers who know spark or have similar skills."
Note: Our current Skill Dataset only contains skills seen at least 250 times across our global resume data.
Expected Usage
This API functions primarily as a support for our Person Search API. Once you enhance a skill, you can use the returned information in your Person Search query to find better matches in our Person Dataset.
We expect the flow for using the Skill Enrichment and Person Search APIs to broadly follow one of the two patterns shown in the diagrams below:
Flow 1: Using the Skill Enrichment API to search for people with similar skills.
Flow 2: Using the Skill Enrichment API to search for people with job titles relevant to the skill.
