Matching skills to roles in Cinode helps you identify the most suitable consultants for your projects. Consultants should tag their profiles with relevant skills to improve matching accuracy.


Working with Role Matching

If you have already created a project and a role, follow the steps below. Otherwise, start by reading how to create a project and a role.

  1. Open the role overview page
    Go to Projects > List, open your project, and click on the desired role.

  2. Add skill requirements

    • Click Add skill.

    • Set the level and mark it as Mandatory or Optional.

    • Add multiple skills as needed.

    • These tags define the competence requirements for the assignment.

    Once skills are added, Cinode displays the number of employees, subcontractors, candidates, and partners matching your requirements.


Using AI to Suggest Skills

You can use Cinode’s AI feature to automatically suggest relevant skills for a role based on its title and description.

  1. Click the three dots next to the role.

  2. Add a title and description, then click Save.

  3. The system will suggest relevant skills for the role.


Viewing Matches

  1. Click Matching to open the matching view.

  2. The list shows potential employees, subcontractors, candidates, or partners who have any of the required skills on their profiles or candidate cards.

Availability indicators:

  • Green: Fully available

  • Yellow shades: Partially available

  • Red: Fully booked

Click the arrow next to a consultant’s name to view detailed information about their assigned or preliminary projects.


Filtering and Sorting Matches

Use filters to refine your list of potential matches. You can filter by:

  • Employee Team / Subcontractor Group

  • Matching percentage (min–max %)

  • Availability (min–max %)

  • Location (for Employee and Subcontractors)

  • Tags (for Employees, Subcontractors and Partners)

To add, change, or remove competencies, click Requirements in the filtering panel.


Understanding the Match Indicators

  • Matching percentage: The round icon next to a name shows the consultant’s match rate based on skill requirements. Hover over the icon to see details, including the consultant’s top five skills.

  • Scoring model: Takes into account whether each skill is mandatory or optional. Use this score as an indicator, not an absolute measure.

  • Star icon: Indicates the consultant’s favourite skill, as marked in their profile.


Book on Role

To book someone on a role:

  1. Click the three dots next to their name.

  2. Choose Book preliminary or Book definite.

You can also pin a person to keep them visible in your list even when you change filters or search criteria. This is useful when managing multiple people.
