A Cinode Profile is a detailed record of a user's professional background, including work experience, education, certifications, and more. Profiles are created either by the user or by a colleague with the appropriate access rights. Each user can only have one profile, but it can be maintained in multiple language versions (e.g., English, Spanish).

Profiles are accessible only to employees within your company. They are used across the Cinode platform for general and skill-specific searches.

Your profile is an opportunity to showcase your expertise internally. It can be found and reviewed by sales professionals, consulting managers, and colleagues. Skills and experiences included in your profile are searchable and featured in various competence reports.


Creating and Managing Your Profile

You can build your profile block by block manually, or you can import content from your CV or LinkedIn profile (in PDF or Word format). After importing, make sure to review and edit the content for accuracy and clarity.

To access your profile:

  1. Click on ‘Home’ in the main menu.

  2. Go to the ‘Profile’ tab.

To navigate between profile sections, use the ‘Table of Content’ feature.


Adding or Editing Skills

You can add or edit skills in your profile manually. If needed, you can use synonyms when translating or adapting skills into different languages.

If your organisation uses predefined skill sets, these can be accessed while editing your profile. This allows you to:

  • Identify which key skills are already listed in your profile.

  • Discover relevant skills to add and ensure your profile aligns with organisational standards.


Adding or Editing Projects and Assignments

You can include previous assignments and projects in your profile:

  • To add a new item, click on the ‘+’ icon.

  • To edit an existing item, click the ‘>’ icon beside the assignment.

Past employment should be summarised as one or several assignments.

Each assignment should include:

  • A description covering tasks, responsibilities, and outcomes.

  • Relevant keywords or skills (one at a time). These may include industries, roles, tools, or methodologies.

When adding skills, Cinode will suggest existing ones – use these whenever applicable. If a keyword is not available, you can add a new one, but ensure correct spelling and consistency.
