# Skill Management

## Overview

The **Skill Management** feature allows you to centralize and standardize all skills used across your candidate profiles and job postings. It ensures your team uses consistent skill names, improves how you search and match candidates to jobs, and keeps your data clean and organized.

You can access the Skills page by clicking the **Skills** on the left menu. On this page, you can search by skill name, add a new group or new skill.

## No Group

The **No Group** stores all the skills currently added in candidate profiles and job descriptions that have not been assigned to any group. Any **newly created skill** will automatically appear under **No Group**.

* Each skill shows:
  * The number of **Jobs** where it is being used.
  * The number of **Profiles** where it appears.
* You can:
  * **Move** any skill to an existing group.
  * **Edit** skill names.
  * **Delete** unused or incorrect skills.

This section helps you quickly review and organize skills that are not yet categorized.

## Customize Skill Groups

To keep your skills well-organized, you can create **skill groups**.

* Click **"Add group"** to create a new skill group.
* You can move any skill from the "No Group" or other groups into your newly created group.

Skill groups help you:

* Group related skills together (e.g., Marketing Skills, Technical Skills).
* Make it easier to manage large volumes of skills.
* Improve search, filtering, and team collaboration when tagging or reviewing skills.

Organizing your skills into groups is a great way to keep your database clean and make the hiring process more efficient.
