Skills Discoverability in MySkillsPlus

Why Discoverability Matters, Not Just Resumes

How It Works

When individuals create a profile in MySkillsPlus, they build four key blocks:

• ✅ Skills Profile (using the 6D Framework)

• ✅ Personal Background Profile (private, shared on request)

• ✅ Work Preference (e.g. full-time, remote, freelance)

• ✅ Monetization Data Points (VSP, BVF, PCF)

From this, an anonymous version of the profile is published and made:

• Searchable by recruiters, job boards, and platforms

• Discoverable via search engines

• Accessible via free, open APIs (no license or subscription required)

This means Skills Profiles can now exist beyond the platform, becoming part of a global discovery layer for talent.

Benefits for Individuals

• ✅ Update once, distribute everywhere
  No more maintaining resumes or profiles across multiple portals.

• ✅ Control and privacy
  Only skills, preferences, and value are public. You control what is shared and when.

• ✅ Reach recruiters, not just platforms
  Your profile can be discovered via search engines, job platforms, or ATS that consume our open API.

• ✅ Get seen by opportunity, not just by title
  Discoverability is based on skills and context, not resume keywords.

Benefits for Employers & Recruiters

• ✅ Find relevant talent across skills, not just job titles
  Structured Skills Profiles enable deep, contextual search across capabilities, preferences, and proficiencies.

• ✅ One place to search — no need to go to 10 portals
  Profiles are aggregated and structured in a unified, searchable format.

• ✅ Better decision-making on cost vs capability
  Compare Value of Skills Profile (VSP) and BVP/PCF across candidates to make smarter, faster hiring decisions.

• ✅ No middlemen. No licensing. No lock-in
  Access profiles freely via API or directly on the web.
  

Distribution Channels

• 🌐 Search engines: Anonymous profile pages are indexed for global discovery

• 🔌 Open APIs: Skills Profiles available in JSON format for ATS, job boards, learning platforms

• 📡 Partner platforms: Third-party systems can embed or sync Skills Profiles in real-time

• 🧠 Direct search on MySkillsPlus: Recruiters can search structured skills within the platform

What Happens When Someone’s Interested?

If a hiring manager finds a Skills Profile that matches their need:

• They can pay BVF to view the individual’s Background Profile

• They can pay PCF to access contact details

• The individual is notified, and has the choice to Accept or Decline

Monetization is always in the individual’s control — and they receive 80% of the fee paid.

Why This Model Works

• For individuals: Wider exposure without loss of privacy

• For recruiters: Efficiency, depth, and structured decision-making
• For platforms: Free, standards-based integration without building their own profiles
