In its match models, AdeptID considers industry certifications held by candidates and required or requested in jobs. Certifications are defined as "recognizable qualification standards assigned by industry or education bodies." Common examples include Automotive Service Excellence, CISSP (for cyber security professionals), and Professional in Human Resources.
