Help Centre
An index of everything Skillhood does, with short explainers for each feature.
Your profile & CV
Your Skillhood profile is your living CV. Add experience, education, projects and a summary, then export to PDF when you need a traditional resume. You can also upload an existing CV (including a LinkedIn PDF export) and Skillhood will pre-fill the sections for you to approve.
- Open your profile and choose Edit to add or update sections.
- Use Upload CV to import a PDF or DOCX and review the suggested content before saving.
- Add a vanity URL in Settings so your profile has a clean, shareable link.
Skills & verifications
Add skills from the Skillhood library to your profile. Other members can verify a skill with a single click, and verified skills deepen in colour as more people confirm them.
- Add skills from the library, or propose a new one if it is missing.
- Tap a skill on someone else's profile to verify it.
- Grades run from grey (unverified) through to deep blue at 25+ verifications.
Certifications
Record the certificates and licences you hold. Issuing organizations can verify them, and verified certificates carry a badge on your profile.
- Add a certificate with its issuer and dates.
- Request verification so the issuer can confirm it.
- Browse the certification library to see what is recognised in your field.
Contacts & network
Contacts is your private address book, synced with Skillhood profiles by email. Tag contacts, sort by location, and view everyone on a map.
- Add a contact manually or from an existing profile.
- Apply your own tags — they autocomplete next time you use them.
- Switch to Map view or Sort by location to plan meetings by geography.
Messages & introductions
Direct messages are the way to reach people on Skillhood — email addresses and phone numbers stay private unless a member shares them. You can also introduce two people by creating a group conversation.
- Open a profile and choose Message to start a conversation.
- Use Introduce to create a three-way intro; the introduction is logged on the contact card.
- On mobile, swipe a conversation to archive or snooze it.
Groups
Groups bring together people around an employer, a profession or a project. Public groups can be joined directly; private groups are invite-only.
- Find a group and request to join, or create your own.
- Invite members by email — they get a link that works before and after sign-up.
- Share notes and posts inside the group.
Notes & tasks
Notes keep your working documents in one place, with list, grid and kanban views. Drag notes between stages, share them, and set your default view in Settings. Tasks sit at the top of your feed with daily, weekly, monthly or one-off cadences.
- Create a note, then drag it between stages in Kanban view.
- Add a task with the pencil button on your feed; the default cadence is One-off.
- On mobile, swipe a task right to archive it as done, or left to snooze it.
Work log
Log entries record what you actually did — shifts, milestones, deliverables. Add contributors, tag people and organizations, and share entries to an organization page where you have admin rights.
- Create a log entry and choose its type.
- Add contributors and @-mention colleagues or organizations.
- Share the entry to an organization page if it belongs there.
Organizations & LMS
Organizations have their own page with a logo, cover image, jobs and members. Admins can publish lightweight training modules as notes with an AI-generated multiple-choice quiz at the end — completing one awards the tagged skills to the learner's profile.
- Claim or create an organization page and invite admins.
- Add a training module, tag the skills it teaches and generate the quiz.
- Learners complete the quiz, get a score and earn the skills automatically.
Jobs
Find roles on the jobs board or on the map, and post openings if you administer an organization.
- Search the board, or use the map to find work near you.
- Organization admins can post a role from Jobs > Create.
Posts, tags & boards
Write longform articles or short posts, add tags, and your content appears on the matching boards. Follow a board to bring its posts into your feed.
- Write a post and add tags — create a new tag if none fit.
- Follow boards such as London or Los Angeles to personalise your feed.
Account & privacy
Your email address and phone number are never shown on your profile. Manage your theme, notification preferences, default notes view and menu bar shortcuts in Settings.
- Set light or dark theme in Settings.
- Choose which shortcuts appear in the header menu bar.
- Contact security to change a locked account name.
