Extract Skills

Use this endpoint to extract a list of skills from a block of text (e.g., text from a resume, job description, syllabus). The endpoint accepts a block of text (containing one or more phrases or sentences) and returns categorized lists of normalized (recognized by AdeptID’s search and match endpoints) skills.

Notes:

• Enabling this service: This is a value-added service and is not available by default. To access this service, please contact your AdeptID Partner Success team.
• Skill Normalization vs. Skill Extraction: This endpoint works best when passed a block of text containing one or more phrases or sentences. If the input is an already-extracted list of raw skills (i.e., as seen in raw text from resumes, job descriptions, etc.), this endpoint will perform poorly; instead, use Normalize Skills.
• Document Parsing vs. Skill Extraction: This endpoint does not parse additional entities (e.g., contact information, education) from a resume or job posting; this should be done via Parse Resume or Parse Job.
• Supporting Models: AdeptID uses proprietary and third-party models to extract raw skills from a block of text and normalize those skills to a specific skills taxonomy. The below graphic depicts the difference between Extract Skills and Normalize Skills.
