Normalize Skills

Use this endpoint to standardize or normalize raw skill inputs (i.e., as seen in raw text from resumes, job descriptions) by matching them to the skills taxonomy recognized by AdeptID’s search and match endpoints. The endpoint accepts a list of pre-extracted raw skills and returns categorized lists of normalized skills.

Additional 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 Extraction vs. Skill Normalization: This endpoint does not extract skills from a block of text (e.g., one or more sentences of text from a resume or job posting); this should be done via Extract Skills.
• Document Parsing vs. Skill Normalization: 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.
