Skills Extraction & Comparison Tool
The Skills Extraction and Comparison Tool leverages machine learning and domain-adaptive language models to analyse unstructured text inputs, such as job postings and course descriptions, and extracts relevant skills.
Skills Extraction and Comparison Tool
Easily extract and compare skills from job descriptions, CVs, and course content.
Guidelines and recommendations:
- Use English text input (minimum 20 words)
- For best experience, use a desktop device
- As a guide, if you are a Training Provider looking to profile a sharper list of skills acquired by trainees undertaking your course, we recommend tagging up to 10 skills for short modular courses and up to 40 skills for longer courses or qualifications.
We’re continuously improving our tools and we value your feedback and suggestions to make it even better.
