Normalize Skills

Use this endpoint to standardize/match (normalize) a list of raw skills (i.e., as seen in raw text from resumes, job descriptions, etc.) to a list of skills in a skills taxonomy accepted by AdeptID search & match endpoints. It accepts a list of already-extracted skills and returns lists (segmented by type) of normalized 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 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.
