Multi-lingual skill mapping using our default taxonomy is now fully supported across all 50+ languages when using our NextGen Resume Parser.

What’s New?

While we’ve always extracted raw skills from resumes in all supported languages, our default skills mapping that utilises the Lightcast skills taxonomy has been expanded to match skills across all common languages.

Benefits for Customers

• Standardized Data: Regardless of the language of the resume, skills are mapped to a common taxonomy, ensuring consistent data across your applications.
• Improved Usability: Mapped skills are ready for analytics, reporting, and downstream processes, eliminating the need for manual data normalization.

Key Details

• Enabled by Default: This update is automatically live for all existing and new Collections using our NextGen Resume Parser with the Lightcast skills taxonomy enabled.
• Default Output in English: By default, mapped skills are returned in English. However, if you’d like them returned in the language of the original resume, we can enable this for your account.
