What are the different values possible for Skill Type in Taxonomy?

The skilltype parameter in RChilli's Taxonomy and Resume Parser API can be used to refine which types of skills should be extracted from a resume. The skill types help segment and categorize the extracted skills for more accurate downstream use in job matching, search filtering, and reporting.

Supported Values for skilltype

When you pass the skilltype parameter in the API request (within the apisetting node), you can specify one of the following recognized skill categories:

1. Operational – Technical or functional skills directly related to job execution (e.g., Java, Microsoft Excel, AutoCAD).

2. Soft – Interpersonal traits (e.g., Communication, Teamwork, Leadership).

3. All – Use this value to return all types of skills (Operational + Soft) in a single response.

These values can be passed like this:

"apisetting": {
"skilltype": "Operational"
}

Additional Notes

• If skilltype is not explicitly specified, all types of skills may be extracted by default depending on your API key settings.

• You can also define source-based skill filters using parameters like softskillsource,and operationalskillsource to pull skills from specific resume sections (like Summary, Experience, etc.).

For detailed use cases and sample API requests, refer to the official documentation here:
RChilli Resume Parser Dynamic API Settings.
