How to allow manually deleted Profile Skills to be available for suggestion when uploading a new resume

Hi ​@MKormos23, I have reached out to the team to confirm. Please allow us some time. 

Thank you Drew, there are a number of other functionality related questions that are emerging, but I will wait for a response to this initial question before adding any more.

Hi

I will list some of the other questions here while waiting for the first response.

Generally I think that there are user queries about jobs that aren’t a great fit rising to the top, while ‘better’ matching jobs being lower down the list, or absent, in the ‘Relevant Jobs Based On Your Profile’ subset.

Looking to improve understanding to help people use the Career Hub tool more effectively.

1. Can users block Jobs from reappearing if they’ve already established that they aren’t a fit (despite a high match score)
2. Can users select compound locations (US and CA) or conversely block locations from results ( don’t show EU and MX)
3. Do ‘manually entered Profile Skills’ get used in the same way, for job match scoring, as ‘system suggested Skills’ based on Work Experience
4. Do Career Interests - Skills and Roles get used in match scoring to available jobs
5. The general job results (without matching to profile) appear to be in descending order of match score, why do ‘Strong Match’ jobs from the overall list not appear in the ‘Jobs Matching My Profile’ results
6. Why do some jobs show ‘Strong Match’ in the summary display column on the left of the screen but ‘Good Match’ after opening the Job Detail view
7. What are the key sections an input resume needs to clearly label and lay out to help with matching:
   • Role/Title
   • Responsibilities
   • Skills
   • Client Company
   • Duration of effort
   • Certifications
   • Recency  
8. Do Work Experience entries older than a certain age (e.g. > 5 years old) get used differently in match scoring. Is there no point in putting information older than xx years in the resume.
9. Do the Skills in the Work Experience section get used differently for scoring than the skills in the Skills section
10. Does ‘Top Ten Skill Highlighting’ in the Skills section get used in job match scoring
11. My Profile - Preferences - Does selecting a City and ‘I would like to work remotely’ result in jobs local to the specified city and other location jobs open to remote candidates; it doesn’t appear to work this way
12. Jobs - Filters - Skills - Where does this skills list come from; same with Filters - Titles, not sure where these filter values are created from

Let me know if there is training or documentation to help understand these points, and the question originally posed above.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi ​@MKormos23, Excuse for the delay. Thank you for your follow up questions. I am still working with the team to help you answer. 

Hi ​@MKormos23, the team has shared this response. I understand it may not fully address all of your questions. 

• Can users block Jobs from reappearing if they’ve already established that they aren’t a fit (despite a high match score).
  • Still waiting from the larger team if the dismissal feature is GA-ed.
• Can users select compound locations (US and CA) or conversely block locations from results ( don’t show EU and MX)
  • US & CA yes. can't block
• Do ‘manually entered Profile Skills’ get used in the same way, for job match scoring, as ‘system suggested Skills’ based on Work Experience
  • yes
• Jobs - Filters - Skills - Where does this skills list come from; same with Filters - Titles, not sure where these filter values are created from
  • We fetch the matching jobs, then identify all the skills associated with those fetched jobs and show them as filter values. same goes for Titles and any other Filter on the marketplace.

Thanks very much for the reply Drew, and now have access restored to view this thread!

Wrt to the second and fourth points provided above:

• How can I show job locations across Canada and USA, as the following don’t appear to work:
  • North America
  • Canada; USA
  • Canada and USA
  • Canada or USA
  • US & CA
• Jobs - Filters - Skills/Titles
  • Without any filtering I see 1732 open jobs in my organization today (the results do appear to be sorted by a ‘match’ to my profile in descending order of match strength which is very helpful)
  • When I look at Skills filter options there are 20 Skills available to filter with
    • There appear to be skills shown that are not in My Profile (or Career Interests) so the available options are not influenced by that
    • Among 1732 jobs there are certainly more than 20 skills posted
    • When I select all 20 skills as filters (highlight the Skills so they turn dark blue) only 1439 jobs result
  • Titles Filter also shows 20 Titles available
    • Again, titles appear that are not part of My Profile or Career Interests
    • Among 1732 jobs there are more than 20 titles
    • When I select all 20 titles as filters only 665  jobs result
  • Skills and Title filter choices appear to max out at 20 (?)
  • Would be very helpful to be able to control the Skills and Titles filters in the Job Search
  • Also, as an alternative solution when I enter a title in the ‘Search for Position’ field (to the left of ‘Search by Location’) the results are no longer sorted in descending order of ‘match strength’ and seem to have near match titles shown above exact match titles (no order at all?) 

Appreciate your help understanding how people can use the tool more effectively.

Regards,

Mark

​@MKormos23 To answer your first question - Can users block Jobs from reappearing - Recommendation Dismissal feature is not GA'd but can be EA'd for any customer. Note that it does not remove the job from the "all jobs" view, rather removes it only from the recommended view.

I can relate. ahaha I will have your CSM reach out to schedule a call with our technical teams.
