Is there a way to include skills or any other information fields in search and match responses? – RChilli HelpDesk

Yes, you can include skills and other information fields in RChilli’s Search and Match responses by leveraging its advanced configuration options. Here's a detailed breakdown of how this works:

Including Skills and Other Fields in Search & Match Responses

RChilli’s Search and Match API is designed to provide highly accurate candidate-to-job and job-to-candidate matching by leveraging enriched and structured data. Here's how you can include specific fields like skills, education, domain, etc., in the output:

1. Skill-Based Matching

RChilli uses a taxonomy-powered engine that supports:

Skill mapping and enrichment via standardized ontologies.
Segregated skill representation, showing the skill type (operational, behavioral, soft), source (Experience, Education, Projects), and even experience in months if mentioned in the resume.

You can include skill-specific settings in the API request using:

"apisetting": {
"reqskills": true,
"reqskillsdrill": true,
"sortskillbyexperienceinmonth": true,
"sortskillbylastused": true,
"removesimilarskill": true
}

2. Additional Field Controls

You can dynamically configure which other fields appear in the response, such as:

reqeducation, reqexperience, reqcertification
reqtaxonomy: Enables alias and alternate values for skills/job titles
formattedaddress, formattedphone, htmlresume

Example:

"apisetting": {
"reqeducation": true,
"reqexperience": true,
"reqtaxonomy": true,
"formattedaddress": true
}

These settings can be passed during the API call and directly affect the structure and content of the search and match results.

How to Configure These Fields

Option 1: Using My Account Portal

Navigate to your account.
Access advanced API settings.
Toggle the relevant fields (skills, education, certifications, etc.).

Option 2: Dynamic API Setting per Request

Use the apisetting node in your JSON API call.
This method allows for granular control on a per-request basis.

How It Enhances Matching Accuracy

Including these fields allows the Search & Match engine to:

Weight skills and other fields in its scoring logic (custom weightage is supported).
Filter candidates based on years of experience, domain expertise, education, location, and more.
Deliver highly relevant results using taxonomy-aligned keyword mapping and clustering.

Final Note

To leverage this functionality effectively, make sure:

The reqskills, reqtaxonomy, and relevant drill settings are enabled.
Your indexed documents contain these fields (done through parsing + indexing).
You configure scoring logic (optional) via your frontend or admin panel to prioritize these fields accordingly.
