Skills Inference

AI infers skills from resumes, project work, learning history, and job descriptions.

The problem

Skills data in HR systems is self-reported and incomplete.

The opportunity

AI can reduce repetitive effort and surface options humans still decide — when grounded in the right data and oversight.

What the solution does

AI infers skills from resumes, project work, learning history, and job descriptions.

How it works

Text and structured records are parsed into a normalized skills graph with confidence scores.

Limitations and risks

Bias inheritance, stale data, privacy obligations and over-automation of people decisions. Keep humans accountable for outcomes that affect careers.

What implementation requires

Start narrow, define evaluation criteria, involve legal/HR governance early, and measure adoption plus quality — not only model accuracy.
