POST	/v10/ontology/v2/compare-skills-to-profession	Includes Certifications

Compare a given set of skills to the skills related to a given profession.

Info

You can try this endpoint out at our Swagger page ( US Data Center | EU Data Center | AU Data Center )
The skill set used to determine the "common skills" is a larger set than /suggestskills returns. This is done to ensure less salient skills are listed as common ones if they are related to both professions. That means that the "common skills" don't necessarily align with the suggested skills.

Scope of use🔗︎

The purpose of this endpoint is to provide insights or enrich data records using our Ontology. You may store the parts of the response that are relevant to individual data records - such as candidate or employee profiles - within these records. It is not permitted to cache, store, or utilize responses from this endpoint for the purpose of limiting request volume, or to create replicas or derivatives of the Service and the Ontology.
