What are the different Proficiency Levels for Related Skills segregation?

RChilli supports related skills segregation through detailed skill classification and grouping mechanisms in its Resume Parser and Search & Match APIs. The proficiency levels in this context are derived based on how skills are mentioned and contextualized in resumes, though these aren't labeled with traditional "proficiency labels" (e.g., Beginner, Intermediate, Expert) unless specifically extracted from the resume content.

Skill Segregation Categories

RChilli's parser segregates skills into distinct skill types, and includes additional attributes like source and taxonomy mapping:

1. Skill Types:

   • Operational Skills: Technical or hands-on skills (e.g., Java, SQL, Photoshop).

   • Soft Skills: Interpersonal and communication-based skills (e.g., Adaptability, Conflict Resolution).

2. Skill Source Section:

   • Indicates where the skill was found in the resume (e.g., Experience, Project, Education).

3. Skill Segregation:

   • Each skill is presented as an object with:

     • SkillType

     • FormattedName

     • Source

     • ExperienceInMonths (if available)

     • LastUsed (if inferred)

     • SkillProficiency (only if explicitly mentioned in the resume)

Proficiency Information Handling

RChilli does not generate inferred proficiency levels like "Basic/Intermediate/Advanced" unless:

• The resume explicitly states them (e.g., “Advanced in Python”).

• Experience duration with a skill can be derived (e.g., 36 months experience in Java).

This is reflected in the SkillSegregation object fields such as:

• ExperienceInMonths

• LastUsed

• SkillLevel (if directly mentioned)

If no such explicit indicators are found, RChilli still provides grouping and taxonomy mapping, but not artificial proficiency ratings.

Custom Proficiency Mapping (Workaround)

If proficiency levels are important for your application, consider the following approach:

• Experience-based mapping (custom logic):

  • 0–12 months: Beginner

  • 13–36 months: Intermediate

  • 36+ months: Expert

• User-defined taxonomy:

  • Use RChilli’s Taxonomy 3.0 and match aliases or synonyms to proficiency tiers.

Skill Sorting and Filtering

RChilli offers advanced sorting settings for skill output:

• sortskillbyexperienceinmonth: Sorts by ExperienceInMonths.

• sortskillbylastused: Sorts by when the skill was last used.

• sortskillbyontology: Orders skills by domain/subdomain classification.
