Cyanotypes uses advanced natural language processing (NLP) to analyze your bio, resume, or job description. The system:

• Identifies relevant skills and competencies from your text
• Matches them against industry-recognized skill taxonomies
• Suggests proficiency levels based on context
• Presents recommendations for your review

You can accept, modify, or reject suggestions to fine-tune your profile.

Proficiency levels help you communicate your skill depth:

• Awareness: You understand the basics and fundamentals
• Proficiency: You can apply the skill in your work
• Expertise: You can teach others or lead projects using this skill

Be honest with your ratings—accurate proficiency levels help our matching system find better opportunities for you.

Our matching algorithm analyzes opportunity descriptions and your skill profile to suggest relevant positions:

• Opportunities are analyzed for required and preferred skills
• Your profile is matched against those requirements
• Matching score is based on skill overlap and proficiency levels
• You'll see opportunities ranked by compatibility

You can also browse all opportunities and apply manually if you prefer.
