Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add skills to my profile?
List them yourself (self-reported) or have them verified by peers/projects. Verified skills > self-reported.
Can I hide skills?
Mostly no—transparency helps routing. But you can mark skills as "not available" if you're transitioning.
How does the taxonomy prevent over-claiming?
Peer verification and outcome tracking. If you claim a skill but deliver poorly, your credibility drops.
How is Skill Taxonomy different from a resume?
Dynamic and outcome-based. Your Skill Taxonomy updates as you deliver work, not once a year.
