Configure Public Skills Content Section

You can add Skills Center as a subscriber to a skill content section, which makes the section a Public Skills content section.

Before you start

  • To ensure that a new skill added to a skill content section in a job requisition appears in the job details page as well as in external and internal career sites, create the skill content section in both the Job Profile Type configuration and Person Profile configuration pages. Then add Skills Center and Recruiting as subscribers to this content section, as described earlier.
  • While job requisitions can show multiple skill content sections in a Job Profile Type configuration, it's strongly recommended to use a single skill content section in the Job Profile Type configuration so that a single skill content section is displayed in requisitions. Also, if you use the Skills Center product, it should subscribe to this single skill content section in a Job Profile Type configuration. This will help simplify the uptake of future improvements to skills support related to requisitions.

Here's what to do

  1. Go to My Client Groups and click Profiles.
  2. On the Profiles page, click Profile Types.
  3. On the Profile Types page, click Person.
  4. On the Edit Profile Type: Person page, click Add Content Section.
  5. Select a template for the content section. You can use these templates:
    • Certification
    • Education
    • Language
    • Skill
    • Work History
    • Work Preferences (multiple sections isn't supported)
  6. On the Add Content Section page, enter a section name and a description.
  7. Select the Active option.
  8. In the Content Section Properties section, set the Skill Level field to Hide.
    You can decide which other attributes you want to display or hide as per your business needs.
    The Skill Level field in a skill content section isn't supported in Recruiting. Enabling it is an invalid configuration and can’t be used in Candidate Experience job application flows. The configuration of rules using Transaction Design Studio overrides the administrative setup here in Profiles. When you configure the field visibility in Transaction Design Studio, it’s applied to all skill content sections. Therefore, if you configure a field such as Skill Level to be visible in Transaction Design Studio, it becomes an invalid configuration when the same field isn’t configured in a content section.
  9. Scroll down to the Subscriber section and select Recruiting and Skills Center to add them as subscribers to this content section.
  10. Click Save and Close.
